 \l{#arch-controller Controller Logic}.
 
+If the package is a build system module, then it is built and tested (using
+the bundled tests) in a separate configuration that mimics the one used to
+build \c{build2} itself. Note that the configuration and environment options
+and variables are not passed to commands that may affect this configuration.
+Such commands, therefore, have no associated \i{step id}:

 As an example, the following POSIX shell script can be used to setup the
 environment for building C and C++ packages with GCC 9 on most Linux
 distributions.
