You're right, if a package build fails, the source is left unpacked. 
The idea is you have the opportunity to investigate/fix.

Once that source is fixed though, and the package can build then it will 
install (with the source remaining unpacked).

In this case with qtopia, you're probably running into problems with 
it's strange build system (I've not been able to continue builds with 
it).

When you removed the source, it must have done a clean build, which 
succeeded and installed.

Anyhow keep your eye open and if you can re-create the problem with a 
test case, please send to the list.
