Is there any reason to treat installs any differently than a deploy to a local repository? The aether APIs are remarkably similar, and AFAIK, an install _is_ a deploy to a local repository, definitionally. (To the point where I've uploaded local repos to a server, and used them a remote repos without a problem.)

Concretely, I'd like to see the `install` and `deploy` fns go away, replaced by `distribute` perhaps. Then, it's up to the caller to provide the target `:repository` (just as they must when using `deploy` today).
