As part of the reproducible builds effort [1], it has so far proven to
be very difficult to do so in a consistant manner. Be it with debugedit
or -fdebug-prefix-map. Building packages in the right directory from the
beginning is much more easier.

During discussions at DebConf14 [2], there was a consensus that a
canonical build path in (at least) pbuilder and sbuild would be a pretty
sensible requirement. We thought of `/usr/src/debian/hello-2.8-1`.
Users would then be able to unpack a source package in the same location
and have gdb happy without further configuration.
