That's correct since it isolates that instance of mkinetd from any others.
Say I go to my own directory and say:

	cvs co mkinetd
	make obj all install

If the rule was to put it directly in /usr/obj/usr.bin/mkinetd or
something, I'd end up spamming the /usr/src objects for what could
very well be an experimental build.  I believe that it's still
possible to have collisions if you really work at deliberatly fooling
the system but the default behavior is correct.
