No, it doesn't.

Since you're already looking in the Makefile, you should see this for the 
install-schema: rule...

###
install-schema: FORCE
     @if test -d $(DESTDIR)$(schemadir) ; then \
         echo "MOVING EXISTING SCHEMA DIR to $(DESTDIR)$(schemadir).$$$$" ; \
         mv $(DESTDIR)$(schemadir) $(DESTDIR)$(schemadir).$$$$ ; \
     fi
     $(MKDIR) $(DESTDIR)$(schemadir)
###

The existing schema directory is simply renamed / moved out of the way. If you 
had any custom schema files stored there, they are still there.

This ITS will be closed.
