Right.

Yes, this is unfortunately correct. The only other options would be :
* Do the build out-of-tree, but this is already been discussed in
another thread as being highly problematic for many packages ;
* Make a copy of the complete source tree. This is reasonable for
small projects, but for example, for something like the kernel, it
is largely unreasonable, and one of the packages for which the
"source override" mechanism is the most interesting is the kernel
package.
Do you see any other option ?
Regards,
Thomas
