OK, so this is needed for _different_ reason; it is no longer about working around a stuck CI due to misguided test. The artifacts should be built in a particular way to be consistent with the other build pipelines (presumably they are used in production later, or something?). If explained that way in the updated log message, I would be very happy to take the patch and merge it down, even fast-tracking down to 'maint'. Thanks.
