I think that I managed to be convinced that for packages for which we
already support a way of configuring the source location (from Git,
from a custom tarball, etc.), it makes sense to also offer an option to
set a local location, even if technically it is redundant with what
<foo>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR is doing.
So I agree with the approach, as long as we limit it to a few key
packages like the Linux kernel and bootloaders.
Best regards,
Thomas
