Seems odd.  What if someone already has a directory named 'src'?

It's not the action that's so unusual, but why the file is there
in the first place.  Why not add `rm Makefile` to the end of this
Makefile?

Perhaps there are good reasons for leaving development-specific
code in the distribution, however, if there are reasons for these
non-standard attributes they're less than obvious.
