If you modify one of the scripts, you have to make sure everybody who
has to build your package has a copy of your special modified version.
It would be best to distribute it with the package it builds. This could
make for some fat packages if many people modify it. I think it would be
better to make it possible to turn sections off and have them be replaced
with arbitrary makefile commands, rather than to have a path switch to
modify them.
