The --with-source argument requires that the directory is named the sameas the package you are building. This is so that you can pass itmultiple times in one invocation, with multiple transformations.

This was added in 3e30cdf1c35ebeb52630ec19b3b43b9e6d5ffb81 precisely toprovide a convenient method for using --with-source without renaming orsymlinking the target directory, IIRC.
Hope this clears things up!
