I think I've figured it out !!

If you, like me, usually go root by just 'su' instead of 'su -', then that is the answer to the problem(!).

Just go root by 'su -' and then 'makepkg'

Cheers.

Hmm but why would you have to use the superuser in order to build the package? Isn't that a security risk (in general)?

The problem is that the Makefile tries to install the schemas in /opt/... no matter what DESTDIR is set to. So as a normal user you'd get permission denied whereas as root it will install the other files in $startdir/pkg/... as normal but put the schemas in /opt/... I suppose that means that the schemas are not in the built package.
