When will $startdir be removed? I just checked: 1022 packages are
affected. (not a big deal though as they can changed on rebuilds)

But I have seen packages which modify the .install script during build.
For example to set the current kernel version for depmod. How could this be
handled then? Or are .install scripts are now available under srcdir?
