Perhaps we're talking about different things. I mean you need to include the 
patch in your package and upload it, just like any other upload. This as 
opposed to a binary-only upload, where we could rebuild just the affected 
archs in a different environment that doesn't cause the ownership issue. The 
latter is a too short term solution.
