Yes, we're getting it wrong at the moment, in that the test is being done on the presence topmost directory, rather than on the presence of a deeper directory (and probably shouldn't be a test at all - the build process should override to always use the uninstalled files) So I think that deleting the empty directory /usr/local/uplevel for the duration of the build should solve your problem.
