Yes, I already wondered about this when looking at the PKGBUIL source file, because it seemed a decision has been made against it, but the subject is "How to "decorate" a package build?" - firefox has only been a package which has been discussed before.

So, the most important result for me is, I've learned some interesting details about the package system.

And the answer is, you're not the first person to want something like that: - customizepkg provides a framework for applying differences to packages - yaourt is capable of autodetecting a repo package that has a customizepkg configuration, and building that package from source instead of syncing the prebuilt package. -- Eli Schwartz
