Wait, just to make sure, so I cannot build the deb package from
umbrella alone? That seemed to have worked fine in the past.

I'm sorry, but I completely cannot follow. What/where is the
"plugins-src" directory? In the entire umbrella tree I cannot find
such a directory. If I point it to "rabbitmq-server/plugins" (the dir
I created with the links, just to try) and run "make plugins-srcdist",
I don't see changes.

Thanks for helping me out, I really appreciate it. BTW, is this
documented anywhere? I grepped the entire umbrella dir for
PLUGINS_SRC_DIST_DIR and cannot find anything (outside the Makefile of
course)
