I'm not sure that this actually clarifies anything. Most paths in makepkg docs and elsewhere are based on relative paths to $pkgdir. Also remember that you can use --rootdir in pacman to install things in places besides /, causing your new wording to not hold true.
-1 without further explanation as to why has been wrong.
I'm fine with abandoning this patch for the reasons you provided. Jason
