I haven't yet looked at what code touches BUILD_DIR exactly, but an
interim thing that one could ponder:

  --- a/lib/Sbuild/ConfBase.pm
  +++ b/lib/Sbuild/ConfBase.pm
  @@ -502,7 +502,13 @@ sub read ($$$$) {
          next if $conf->_get_group($key) =~ m/^__/;
  
          my $varname = $conf->_get_varname($key);
  -       $script .= "my \$$varname = undef;\n";
  +        my $vardefault = $conf->_get_default($key);
  +        my $varget = $conf->_get_property_value($key, 'DEFAULT');

  +        } else {

  +        }
       }

This may be wrong for other reasons.

But if that works, afterwards 'GET'-functions could maybe be
deprecated altogether? (This is unfounded speculation; I really need
to look at Conf.pm and see what these things all do.)
