My intent was that gen-packages would be used once when a master build
area is created, and again when a package was added. For checking out a
package in /tmp to test a build, I would expect to just run daconfiscate
and debuild.
I could point gen-packages at a checkout instead (perhaps using the
auto-checkout in /afs/dev.mit.edu/source/src-svn as a default); it would
just be a little less convenient if someone had just checked in a new
package minutes ago.
