And..?  It's correct!  It's the same way it *used* to be, in fact.

Unless you by luck had your src directory *really* under /usr/src, the
sed script which intended to strip /usr/src off always failed and
you'd end up with /usr/obj/actual/source/path/<something>, something
which was guaranteed in the case where you had "joe" checking out and
building parts of his own tree.
