RE: INSTALLs in the package and wiki-documentation
I also disagree. The instructions may change from version to version, so consider this use case:

- Peter wants to install some older version for whatever reason
- Peter downloads the version he wants
- Peter checks the INSTALL instructions

1- INSTALL points to the wiki, and the wiki only has install instructions of the newest release, so peter ends up with a failed installation.
2- INSTALL has the installation instructions of this version, so peter ends with a working system.

See my point? INSTALL is version-specific so it should be bundled with each realease...
