Don't do that! :-)

build_root is an autopackage variable, makepackage will set it and
your [prepare] section is supposed to put all the files to include in
the package into that folder.

You should NOT set $build_root to anything. Just make sure that
[prepare] puts files into the $build_root directory (which it does, if
you used my Makefile + call 'make install DESTDIR=$build_root' from
the .apspec).
