Right there in the public sources. The problem is really in packaging;
building a proper SDK package is tricky at the moment
and it's easy to generate one that doesn't work 100% as it should (as
experienced with the recent SD Card auto-mounting
problem which was due to a missing configuration file).

We're working on fixing this and providing detailed instructions on how to
build an SDK. However, one should expect this
kind of problem episodically when trying to build its own SDK.

And as Dianne said, most of the team works in the source tree directly,
which generates images that are a bit different than the
ones packaged for a SDK (this is also true of the "generic" product in the
open-source tree); that's why releasing an official
SDK takes time by the way, we need to ensure that everything works as it
should, even though the rest of the team often
makes modifications that work on "normal" build products, but not on the SDK
system images themselves for really corny
reasons.
