I can't comment on whether the restriction is a good thing.  I vaguely 
remember when it was introduced and that whoever did it had what they believed 
to be good reasons but I have no idea what they were.

For your information, I have attached (if this list accepts attachments -- if 
not, drop me an email if you want me to send it) the script that I "source" in 
order to set up the env variables for my development builds.  Note that this 
was derived from someone else's script a long time ago -- apologies that I 
cannot remember who supplied the original.  In my case, I have an "opensync" 
directory which is a parent of the various svn checkout directories for the 
components and is also a parent for the build directory.

I can also send you, if you want, the scripts and rules files I use for the 
builds which create debian packages for Maemo.  They work slightly differently.
