You probably meant to write: "From that stage a *package* can be
directly created" ;)

It's easy to understand why this is so useful because the result of
the compilation does not have to be installed for real on the build
host or build jail when the goal is just to create a package and clean
up is lot easier.

Keep up the good work,
