Hi Anders,

I was discussing this with Richard just now, I may be a bit over eager!

This code is performance sensitive as there's sometimes a lot of debug
sources to copy. We've seen previously that shutil.copy() is much slower
than shelling out to `mv`, so we probably want to keep that one as a
subprocess. The rest of the cleanup I suggested is worth doing.

Thanks,
