Yes, in the maintainer's tree.

One other point - it is assumed that the maintainer's tree is _never_ read-only (that is, a maintainer rule that modifies srcdir is fine). Otherwise, how are you maintaining anything? Read-only srcdir applies _only_ to end user setups, and 'make distcheck' does a good job of separating maintainer issues (the 'make dist' portion) from the end user issues (the VPATH 'make check' build from a read-only srcdir portion).
