The rule to make darcs.pdf from darcs_print.pdf needs to be rethought.
The correct approach is to make darcs.tex from darcs_print.tex?

Is the problem here is just that darcs_print.pdf and darcs.pdf are
redundant, and that only the latter should be installed?

Yep.

A patch resolving this was sent to the mailing list; it resolves it
by never making darcs.pdf (just installing darcs_print.pdf).
This was rejected for the 2.2.0 freeze, but hopefully will be applied to
the main branch sometime.

The following patch updated the status of issue1271 to be resolved:

* Resolve issue1271: do not install two copies of darcs.pdf.
