It should still be possible, with the right hack (which is tested in the
testsuite, and required by other packages anyway). The baseline is: if
you don't want your '.info' files to be distributed, then it should be
easily possible to have them built in the builddir; but if you want them
distributed, they will be built in the srcdir.
Sound like if user would like to distribute binaries they must be in
source directory .
Why generated file, not required for build process, has to be places in
source tree.
What if author(s) would like to separate process of document creation
from binaries ?
The rationale to do so is
to ensure that, in both cases, the developer's tree layout (as bootstrapped
from a VCS checkout) will match the user's tree layout (as obtained from a
distribution tarball).
May be I miss what is rationale to keep read-only and build-ready source
tree.
