I would be writing:

  mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/lib/udev/rules.d
  $(INSTALL) -m 0644 95-osinfo.rules $(DESTDIR)/lib/udev/rules.d/

Also it's almost always a bad idea to use '-' to ignore errors,
particularly so in this case.

In fact I'd probably also define $(rulesdir), but I guess that's not
so important here.
