You mean subdirectories? In the case of the pure non-fhs setup, again only the
root directory of the "local root" is created. So all I did is adjust the path.

The purest packaging would dwell into it and fully convert it to FHS, and that's
what I was aiming for at the beginning. But I followed up archived discussions
on the pain and "impossibility" involved, as well as the "strong opinion" of
upstream to not accept patches for Linux/Unix targets. Debian for example
maintained a larger fhs-patch which needed adjustments on each upstream release
and after the package was never being updated they consider dropping
gnustep-make due to that burden.

If it weren't needed as a build dependency for further packages, I would had
done the same. :/

In a nutshell: I need to move out the /usr/local like bits of gnustep-make to
avoid default user installs under /usr and this seems the least intrusive way to
do so.
