Oh - so I will have all of the dependencies of meta-pkg/gnome installed
on the build box, even with make package. So the only way to have the
desired outcome: "just make packages on the build box but don't install
any on the buildbox" necessitates the use of e.g. pbulk? Even with
"DESTDIR support"?
