Interesting idea (:source, not :debug-full)! Two minor points:

Won't that mean that the package has to be built to completion at least 
once, somewhere, to output its own :source? If so, adding special-case 
code to avoid that would not be a net win.

We'd also have to choose between keeping a misleading name, 'outputs', 
and a global bike-sed.

Kind regards,
