Research direction

Start by locating the NumPy package build definition and comparing it with the build rules for packages that already preserve pristine source directories. Reproduce the NumPy build, identify why it requests a writeable source directory, and verify that the build succeeds without modifying the source tree.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The numpy build needs to mark the source directory as writeable in order to perform the build. For every other package this has been avoided somehow, I would like to continue to treat the source directory as pristine.
