Now in inbound, run:

  $ NO_REMOVE=1 mach build install-manifests

This doesn't run automatically as part of a non-toplevel build, so it's
a workaround. But it's better than what was there when you started this
thread.

There are various bugs tracking making the partial tree builds better.
It's getting harder and harder as we are moving per-directory rules into
non-recursive build actions while at the same time doing some radical
things to speed up traversal. Expect some bumps in the road. But if you
encounter something that severely limits your productivity, please speak
up and don't stop complaining until it is fixed (most of you stop
complaining and it's easy to assume you worked around it).
