If a package failed to build or was somehow misbuilt, just fix the Makefile and reissue "make". Everything is either correctly mounted (and the build will pick this up), or not mounted at all (and "make" will mount as needed).

OK, thanks. Updating my iso and testing...

One more note.

If many files on the CD get overwritten, zeroes on the CD "wash out" (i.e.: some previously-used blocks become unused, but still contain non-zero bytes). This results in the CD size bigger than actually needed (because such data blocks are not compressed well). The Makefile contains a target that refreshes zeroes in root.ext2:

make zeroes

Please run "make zeroes && make" just before the release, in order to reduce the CD size.
