Amends the documentation update in commit 24b76eaa93 (Help: Improve

v3.21.0-rc3~16^2).

Until a new feature is (potentially) implemented offering projects more
flexibility in this regard, the semantics around installation of
internal build-tree dependencies should be clarified, as it has caused
confusion on multiple occasions.
