They should go in $builddir. Having a read-only $srcdir while
building should be possible.

I think that the theory behind this is that this is supposed to be
made into a tar-ball, and therefore it should include all files. And
besides, it's the maintainer doing this and therefore $srcdir should
be writable.

I don't really think you want to be messing around with cygnus/gnu/and
all that.

See above? :-)
