It does, but teasing apart what's needed for buildworld/buildkernel and just buildetc is a bunch of work, and better to have something that works inefficiently than something that doesn't work. Patches more than welcome to make it more efficient. However, I will note that 99% of the time -B is what people should be using, so it's not all that important (it's rare that you want to produce an etcupdate tree from sources that haven't just been built).
