I was wrong. It didn't work. :-(

I asked one of our auto* experts and he told me, that building
independant sources, which depends on each other, in one run with
using DESTDIR (i.e. without root privileges) is a pain and usually
doesn't work. For the build tests I will ignore the security hole for
now and switch to the build of seperate packages later. Probably I
need to write a specfile generator for this. 

Sorry for the confusion!
