Only files that are installed by an enabled package using
install_alternative(_tree) [1][2] are taken from projectroot.

Create a new target package with "ptxdist newpackage target", remove
everything but PACKAGES-$(PTXCONF_YOURPACKAGE), YOURPACKAGE_VERSION,
YOURPACKAGE_LICENSE and the targetinstall stage. In the targetinstall
stage you can use install_alternative_tree [2] to install "the whole
source directory tree with all files" [2].

Care must be taken not to install files with this that are installed by
another package already.
