It was I who failed to read the proposed patch in its entirety in the
first place. I did not get the full picture as a result. My apologies.

Would something like this work for you?

local git_status
git_status=$(git --no-optional-locks status -uno --porcelain 2>/dev/null)
test $? -eq 0 ||
        git_status=$(git diff-index --name-only HEAD)
if printf '%s' "$git_status"  | grep -qv scripts/package; then
        printf '%s' -dirty
fi
