From a previous discussion [1] on this subject, it seems to be that

Attached is a patch to cygport to do exactly that.
The downside is, if you then rebuild the package like that, you end up
with /usr/src/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE[.ARCH, as of
today's git master], which seems a bit repetitive to me. What do you
(and others) think about making the "topdir" also the "workdir" if the
former is already of the form NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH, as per the
attached patch instead?
I think "workdir" needs to be at least ARCH, otherwise you lose the
(just added) ability to do cygport --32 and cygport --64 in the same
directory?
If I am understanding you correctly, the rest is just a question of
aesthetics. I don't mind the repetition, but others might have a
different opinion.
(As an aside, how would a patch to move "Method one" and "Method two"
to an
archive page be received? It seems to me that they are not relevant
to nearly
all new packages)

Thanks. I guess I'll work on a documentation patch for that, then.
