Note, this override isn't strictly needed either. You can create a
side tag, and tag in _any_ build you need to fix things. Pretty sure
you can even tag in older versions of things if necessary. You just
have to remember to untag the extra builds before creating the update
in Bodhi, if you're creating it from the side tag.
Yeah, I could've made a new side tag for this, but at this point the
override existed and I had it open in a browser tab so I could
basically turn it off and on like a light switch, so I just went with
that. :D I was just noting this as a detail about how buildroot
overrides work, if you're really determined to use one.
