Yes.

But it is still possible to configure the project in the source 
directory, outside Anjuta or even inside by choosing the source 
directory as the build directory.

Moreover, building the program inside the source directory is the most 
common way to do it. It is possible that some project doesn't support to 
be built outside the source directory in a Debug directory.

An important goal of Anjuta is to allow using standard tools, so this 
remove configuration has to be supported. Even if I'm agree that it 
makes things more difficult.

Ok.

I think it comes from the chosen debug executable. It is defined in 
Run->Program parameters. You have to select which program you want to 
debug. I have tried to use useful default value, but when you change the 
configuration, the executable is not the same and this value is not updated.
