Mmm, i have been thinking more about this. The current 4.3.0 SDK uses hardcoded path to build, which is not all that nice. I will see if it is easy to change that, and make sure that the next release has something more flexible, which it will assuredly have but will not be helpfull for us right now. So we can either ship it as a tarball or as an unpacked tree, which is easier. Also, since the paths are hardcoded, it is a bit difficult to have a package which builds in it, which is something the autobuilders will not like, so maybe something akin to the module target in make-kpkg would be a better idea.
