I don't think there is a reason for that to fail; I've done it many
times. Only when I have to do it, I usually go through the steps one
by one (after the local mods I would do 'make configure', 'make', make
package' etc.). If it is a one-off, I restore the cleaned package to
the default one; if it is likely to be needed locally, I might create
the patches and modify the package - 'make distinfo'.
