This is totally legit for dev builds, I do it all the time :-)  But  
just an FYI, since you used ./pd-extended-release-auto-builder.sh   
that should build the previous final release (0.42.5).  Using ./pd- 
extended-auto-builder.sh for the current dev build.  I think Mario is  
building the 0.43 dev.
