But, aren't the distros are using our *generated* base package as their source, not Git? otherwise they are getting ‘the wrong thing’ anyway. (Eg we remove some files that shouldn’t be part of the end distribution, and in future might reformat textures, etc..)

If they’re using Git directly, someone needs to let them know to fix their stuff :)
