I figure out my two questions... almost, let's say I want to copy one 
whole directory recursively

Makefile.am

contactsdatadir = ${prefix}/share/applications/contacts
contactsdata_DATA = \
   themes


themes is that directory but when I try to install it it throws me :

test -z "/usr/local/share/applications/contacts" || mkdir -p -- 
"/usr/local/share/applications/contacts"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 './themes' 
'/usr/local/share/applications/contacts/themes'
/usr/bin/install: se omite el directorio `./themes'
make[2]: *** [install-contactsdataDATA] Error 1

So what do i need to do to copy that directory recursively? or else.. 
what do i need to do to create the themes directory so i can copy 
individual files?

Thanks
