No, the work.blah directory was still there, and still contained the 
.install (and other .*) files.

I hadn't planned on doing the 'make package' until I discovered that 
just openoffice2 took 14 hours (and that was NOT including all the 
packages that it depends on)!  And that's on a fairly high-power box:

cpu0: Intel Core 2 (Merom) (686-class), 2400.17 MHz, id 0x6fb
...
cpu0: "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz"
