[Lazarus] What does make install do?

Tried to figure this out but it was not so easy..

If I do this after getting the sources (trunk) from svn:
make clean bigide
then Lazarus builds OK and I can use it by running startlazarus

But there is also a command
make install

What exactly does this do (in a Debian Jessie derivative environment)

Does it populate start menus and the like?
Right now I have had to go through a lot of hoops to get Lazarus on
the Jessie start menu and maybe this is not necessary if make install
does it for me?
