I build Emacs from the emacs-master.tar.gz file produced by the Git repo and after the build I delete both the build tree and the tarball (*), so I do not see any usefulness to have the source. If I need it I can read it directly online from the Git repo, and if I need it to change something and test I can download it. BTW, I often build without debug info so why should I have the need of source? Why you insist in creating "user-developer"? Do you really think all user of a software product aim to read it source to understand how it work?
Please, let me know how to disable this if installed on master...

(*) Really I start to build on GNU/Linux Mint where the tar.gz is downloaded. Then I build for this OS and do also a nox build to be installed on WSL. Then the tar.gz is transferred on the Windows partition where a Windows build is done for W10 Pro 64. the result is installed also on a W10 Home 64.
