In Version 1.4.2-dev (but problem exists for longer I guess):

cd common
./configure
make
sudo make install

does install successfully but ends with an error:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/backintime-qt': File exists
make: *** [Makefile:78: install] Error 1
