I would like to see a new revision of the patch series with the fix to
the problem. I will pull this into a separate test branch for us all
to test different scenarios. I would like to make sure the repo will
stay clean after install in the case of when out of tree builds.

Sorry I can't amend the patch as this isn't a trivial merge change.
This change requires more testing.
