It's not only hardcoded, but with absolute path names.
I do not build the kolab packages in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES,
it's not even below /usr/src/ ...
so those files will never be in there.

I think, everything needed to build a binary should be either in the source 
package or in build-deps, but if it's easier and the official way to 
not do so with obs and cross reference between different source packages 
via absolute path names (requiring the exact location of the corresponding
files) then maybe it's ok.

I will patch those files locally, anyway. I copied the corresponding files 
to the base directory, added it via "dpkg-source --commit" to some patch file
and changed the rules file:

- cp /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/chwala.conf $(CURDIR)/debian/chwala/etc/apache2/conf.d/
+ cp $(CURDIR)/chwala.conf $(CURDIR)/debian/chwala/etc/apache2/conf.d/

This way the source package created with "dpkg-source -b" will build 
outside of obs.
But okay, next to the clean chwala_0.1~dev20130809.orig.tar.gz
the resulting chwala_0.1~dev20130809-2~kolab3.debian.tar.gz 
is nearly 1 kB bigger than your chwala_0.1~dev20130809-2~kolab3.diff.gz
