I suspect I am coming in here late with some vital data missing,
but it seems to me that if an earlier version works and a later
doesn't it should be possible to pinpoint the difference, and
correct the source accordingly.  The above sounds as if you will
end up with a package that cannot be recreated from the source. 
That will lead to future confusion.
