This is the part I don't get.

if you just run

make

no subsurface binary should be placed into /usr/bin

and if you run

sudo make install

then both subsurface and all its support files,
including /usr/share/subsurface/Documentation should be installed

No, that's a terrible place. The best place would arguably
be /usr/share/doc/subsurface - but we went
with /usr/share/subsurface/Documentation
