Bug Description

https://pastebin.canonical.com/36794/

* the builddmaster runs under a different userid than the code is built with
* I believe (haven't confirmed) that the same style of setup exists on prod
* the tree is thus not writable by design

<lifeless> spm: profile.pt.py and profile.pt are from the new template engine gary added
<lifeless> spm: its a compile step
<lifeless> anyhow make build should have built that file
<lifeless> (in principle, we may need to change things to make that match reality)

FWIW, "make build" actually does the right thing, kind of by accident (it happens when the wadl is made). "make compile" is what is not doing the right thing.

The linked branch makes an explicit step for doing this build.
