Depends :)
Files that go straight to the target have to me installed to the
TARGET_DIR. Intermediate files (prerequisites of stuff that will be on
the target like helper libraries, headers, etc) have to live in
STAGING_DIR. Sometimes only a small fraction of files in the staging_dir
is needed in the real target, so they are copied selectively.
HTH,
