The skipsteps works exactly as you expect. It accepts: fetch, ready, source, patch, prepare, configure, build, test, install, extensions, package, postproc, sanitycheck, cleanup, module, testcases. But I don't understand what the problem is? Download the freebayes sources with the git checkout, tar/zip it and let EB use that file? If you put empty files, EB will try to use them (aka unpack).
