even though checkinstall is buggy and old, when it works it’s great.

      Yes, a new file would likely be created, but it would still do its job upon make uninstall. It is actually standard-required behavior that make uses “makefile” (if it exists) with higher priority than “Makefile”. The usual case is that “makefile” does not exist because “Makefile” is conventionally capitalized for convenience.
