Its certainly not a scheme I'd use, but I've also seen Makefile and
makefile in the same package build directory in the past.

The GNU “make” command, specified without a filename, looks for
“GNUmakefile”, then “Makefile”, then “makefile”. The man page
<https://manpages.debian.org/make(1)> says:

    We recommend Makefile because it appears prominently near the
    beginning of a directory listing, right near other important files
    such as README.

But is this still true for most people? I think the default sort
settings these days no longer put all-caps names at the top.
