Ok, I set it up, build all my packages in one go, then tear it down again.

You can set CLEANDEPENDS="no" in your pkg_comp's configuration file, and
in contrast to PKG_DEVELOPER, which will do something even if set to "no",
this will prevent cleaning for dependencies.

I'm surprised (see above). Also I value the "make clean" in general as
I tend to always run low on diskspace (no matter how much diskspace I
have).

Anyways to finish the PKG_DEVELOPER issue; something like the patch I
had attached to the other message might solve it for everybody even if
the default changes to "yes"; when "no" also means "no" and not "yes"
I'd be fine with that part already.
