I don't really get this.

You have made some changes to the old build system (changes in 
make/tools/Makefile and the addition of 
make/tools/addtorestrictedpkgs/Makefile), but you are not actually using 
this.

I think you should either drop these changes as well, or fix it so that 
the old build is usable too. Doing it half-way seems just confusing.

Also, are we -- in general -- okay with making changes only to the new 
build system? As long as both systems are still there, I thought the 
idea was to keep them in sync. Even though we want to remove the old 
build, we don't know when that happens, and we *don't* want the systems 
do diverge. Or are there precedence for this kind of changes?
