Since this graft is phrased as more or less a package transformation, I
would expect it to still apply (more or less) on top of any update you
do on mesa-updates.  If you already fixed the package on mesa-updates,
then you can simply drop the replacement during your regular merge of
master into mesa-updates.  Similarly, if you want to do away with the
graft, but haven't done so yet, you can inline the changes after the
merge.  In either case, it should be done before mesa-updates gets
pushed to master.

I think grafting this for now, but undoing the graft on mesa-updates is
the way to go.  In my humble opinion we should fix bugs on master as
they arise while doing long-term solutions in teams where we have more
resources for big builds.

Cheers
