Description:
Recent versions of devtools no longer respect a modified PKGEXT variable in makepkg.conf. I couldn't find where the change happened, so I'm not sure if it was intentional.

Additional info:
* Versions after 20230307.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Change the PKGEXT variable in makepkg.conf to something else, like .xz or .gz.
In my example, makepkg.conf is placed in ~/.local/share/archroot/config-x86_64.

2. Create a chroot with `mkarchroot`, this is how I did for example.

$ mkarchroot -C "$HOME"/.local/share/archroot/config-x86_64/pacman.conf \
-M "$HOME"/.local/share/archroot/config-x86_64/makepkg.conf \
"$HOME"/.local/share/archroot/arch-x86_64/root base-devel

3. The chroot version of /etc/makepkg.conf should now have the default value for PKGEXT instead of a user-defined one.

This task depends upon
