if Emacs was installed with the sources, but the original source tree where it was built still exists, where will source-directory point after your changes?
It'll point to the original source tree if you're running Emacs out of the build directory. If you're running Emacs out of the installed directory, it will point to the installed source tree.
Let's consider builds that aren't meant to be reproducible.
Although we can do that, generally speaking it's better when there's no difference between reproducible and irreproducible builds, as that's one less thing to worry about when maintaining and debugging.
