Ok! I didn't gather that it was a "list" of paths but actually makes
sense I did:
PRESERVECONF += $(sysconfdir)/installation-domains.conf
Out of my guts, just because ginstall required the removal of GNUstep...
to actually end in GNUstep.

How can I check what actually gets used? does it end in a file i can
inspect?

I don't know, I guessed wrong, since it works.

why should I use (g)install instead of cp? what's the difference?

I had to remove one level of "GNUstep"
ginstall -D -m 0644 $(WORKSRC)/installation-domains.conf $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/installation-domains.conf
appears to work.

Thank you.
