Sounds fine.
Having to make such temporary changes is the price we're paying for
making one change at a time.

I went to this link, but I can't quickly identify the Source tarball
you'd be using in the package. Can you please provide more info?
"Download libservicelog-1.1.11.tar.gz (642.9 KB)" - is this it?
How do we verify its authenticity and integrity?..

This is within consideration. I'd like to take a look at whatever
source tarball would provide libsysfs first.
