Well, if we have per-package out-of-tree, then there is no rsync at all anymore. The source code stays in the directory specified in _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR, and only the build tree is in output/build/-/. However, this obviously works only for packages that use a sane build system supporting out of tree build.
