yes. That's why it's called 'buildignore'.
It's a big feature for me as package developer:
E.g., I can have extra tests (which e.g. only apply on my
specific platform) in addition to those which are use when the
package is built (to be checked on all possible platforms).
Some have proposed to additionally define a '.Rcheckignore'
but they haven't been convincing enough.

"First build, then check" is one way;
Something which is recommended anyway in some cases,
e.g., if you have an (Sweave - based) vignette.

It depends on the circumstances on how I would solve this
problem....
[Why have these files as part of the package sources at all?]
