Thanks Paul, I thought it looked a bit odd... I'm still getting used to all of these Git scripts.
I've just mailed a second attempt through.

I don't think we need to explicitly remove `/etc/volatile.cache.build`, as the script should
rebuild the volatiles cache on the next boot, which will remove, rebuild, and rename the .build file.
