Agreed; but things get confusing with several INSTALL* in top directory,
and almost overlapping files in install_misc/ directory. At least, for
debian. 

Another approach could be to have a single INSTALL file in the top, with
pointers to distro / distroversion specific INSTALL* files in, say,
install_misc.

Right now, there would be a bit confusion for somebody entirely new to
Koha.

As already suggested, will try to create a patch for this. Let me see if
I can do it
