It's fairly standard these days and comes "for free" with autotools
Not quite. It comes "for free" with automake-based packages, as part of
automake generated Makefile.ins.
This package however only applies autoconf and manually written
Makefile.ins - I.e. somebody must have explictly implemented DESTDIR
into the Makefile.ins.
