- diskimage-builder has the ability to retrieve source code for an element and
place it into a directory on the target image during the extra-data phase. The

If mulitple elements register a source location with the same <destination>
then source-repositories will exit with an error. Care should therefore be taken
to only use elements together that download source to different locations.
