adding a file/symlink to the rpm during checkinstall

I recompiled and installed bash-2.05b. But make install doesn't create 
the symlink /bin/sh for /bin/bash. As a result, it's not part of the rpm 
produced by running checkinstall, making it impossible for other 
packates to check dependency on /bin/sh.

The Makefile for bash has the target install in the script. can I just 
append a line "ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh" to the end of the block of text 
prefixed by install: in the Makefile and expect checkinstall to include 
the symlink /bin/sh?
