Right, and this is by design.

Why do you want to use a sub directory? The strategy is usually to put
any project-local .in and .make files into rules/. Any file put there
should be generic enough to be used in any config/platform to be used
with the project, so I cannot imagine a good reason for splitting up
into sub directories.
