Ah, I just replied to the original email, but wanted to follow up with you...

As part of Koen's directory restructuring proposal, I suggested to have 
DEPLOY_DIR moved outside of TMPDIR, which was generally accepted (so I guess 
I need to prep a patch for review...)

By default, pstage is located inside DEPLOY_DIR, thus once the above change is 
done, it would be Ok to kill TMPDIR but still use pstage packages, reducing 
the build time.

There maybe some issues though, when packages don't get rebuild even though 
there were changes - mostly because PR is not bumped or because one 
of *_FEATURES variables got changed...
