[arch-general] makepkg is creating BOTH a /pkg and pkgusr on build??

Interestingly enough, my /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD.proto thinks otherwise:
  [...]
  package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
    make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
  }
  [...]

And besides the unquoted DESTDIR leading to trouble, the additional slash would also explain and likely fix your issue.

I'd suggest using a matching .proto file whenever creating a new package
instead of copying an old PKGBUILD. They are updated every now and then, and
you should profit from this.

Best regards.
