OK.

Let me clarify. I didn't mean any pre-existing -alt patch. I meant
combining all of the changes in ALT's package into a patch that we'll
call -alt. We'd use this as a general approach to reduce maintenance
costs of packages in Owl where the changes are based on ALT's. Right
now, our GnuPG package is already in a similar state.

Maybe something like:
trap 'exit 0' XFSZ

Do you know or have a guess as to why it's slightly different? Is it
desirable for us to expect these slightly different results, and fail if
we start getting the originally expected results (perhaps so that we're
reminded to revert the patch when that happens?)

OK. Maybe just two: -alt (applied first as it'd be upstream for us) and
-owl-tests.
