ok but do we need to be in $pkgdir ?
IIRC this is exactly what I had to change in repo-add (the current working dir).
The problem is always the same : if we change dir, then relative paths become
broken.
Looking at the create_package function, it seems we just need to add a few
$pkgdir/ here and there.
