You can regularly refer to the prototypes in /usr/share/pacman. Those have $srcdir and $pkgdir now (which are also necessary for the split package building in pacman 3.3). Other than that, I only noticed because the other devs started using them instead of $startdir.
There is one reason to refer to $startdir, maybe we should think about that: The .install file is never included in source=(), but we sometimes sed stuff inside it, refering to $startdir.
