No, it's really "directory". It's the same "directory" parameter that -b gets (i.e. the unpacked source tree). A suggestion for an improved wording is most welcome. > The documentation should perhaps also specify from which directory the > command gets executed, and what arguments it gets, if any. Same requirement than -b in general since those options are only sort of "hooks" that should be called before/after -b (but not immediately before/after so it can't be done in -b itself).
