`standard practice of most software projects' -- put an alien subtree inside
a project's build structure, and you should expect to lose if the parent
project changes something major in its build structure.

The conditions of `src' never changed.  It's a self-contained entity, and
it is perfectly reasonable to expect anything added to it to be treated the
same as the rest of `src'.

What changed is the way that `src' compiles -- and since `src' is defined as
the base system source (and does not include pkgsrc or xsrc), that change
afflicted your setup.
