So, my understanding of this is that this change was made to prevent
some rebuilds a while ago. It does trigger quite a few rebuilds (1120),
so it'll need pushing to staging/core-updates.

I'll test some of these packages locally, and then probably push it to
core-updates, as there's some other stuff on staging I'd like to see
merged to master soonish.
