Issue

A user reported that the arrow package creates new files upon activation, and thus adds files into downstream packages built by conda-build or rattler-build. Should we not create these "debug" files when building downstream packages (e.g. by looking at the CONDA_BUILD env variable?

Fine by me to gate this on CONDA_BUILD - PRs welcome!

@maresb has been the master of the activation script here, perhaps he feels up to it. ;-)

Hopefully done in #1694
