It seems that at no point it was thought about a > config variable and therefore we have to live with it. this is all fine and dandy to me. however one little bug: PKGDEST="." makepkg will fail due the the fact that the real package will be overridden by the symlink. result is a circular symbolic link. makepkg should check for this [corner] case, and simply not create the link. i needed this for a script that automatically builds a package with the option to install and/or push to AUR. i wanted to sandbox it so it would not be affected by the user's makepkg.conf settings. workaround by making a dummy folder called "out" and sending the package there instead.
