Hello Richard,

First, sorry for the commit message (I gave details in the first patch on
externalsrc.bbclass but not on this one). I agree with you that it seems an
hack but I don't know to make package;bbclass find the sources correctly.
The "culprit" is the following command (
https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/classes/package.bbclass#L591)
and especially the last part of it:

processdebugsrc += "(cd '%s' ; cpio -pd0mlL --no-preserve-owner '%s%s'
> 2>/dev/null)"


this command explicitely goes into *workparentdir *and wait for the sources
to be in it thanks to the input list that was calculated as the output of
dwarfsrcfiles earlier call (with *localsrc_prefix *remove from them).

Have you an idea (or even a lead that I can explore) on how make things
correct here ?
