Yes, but make sure there is a way to mask packages in the OVERLAY
directory. There are a couple of situtation where you still want to
keep your local ebulld and not build it. If you screwed it up for
example and don't want to bother with moving it out of the OVERLAY dir
to a third dir for backups.
Making a packages.mask in the OVERLAY dir would probably be the best
way to do it.
No, I haven't used this OVERLAY feature myself, so there may perhaps
already be such a thing.
