The distinction between "build" and "publish" is a little gray when it comes to 
features.  What you are seeing is that the built form of a feature is a 
directory on disk with various files. For p2 we want to JAR up the feature and 
zip up the root files (if any) and stash them in the repo. That is purely an 
internal implementation detail of how we are storing things in p2 and therefore 
separate from PDE etc.
