Pretty much, that says that bin_package_do_install is this classes
do_install implementation.  This lets you inherit the class and override
do_install(), calling bin_package_do_install as required.  If you don't
provide an alternative implementation of do_install then
bin_package_do_install will be called.

This inheritance isn't used very often as generally it's sufficient to just
do_install_append() or _prepend().
