Thanks for reporting this. This is strange. Especially since it's all
scripts that are used to import these.

I do remember doing a rebase to fix some issues in another unrelated
patch. I wonder if I accidentally messed this up during that rebase :-/

I'll have to investigate this.

I'll checkout the tree before the affected patch, and reapply the
changes from my scripts to see if it wasn't my script that broke.

Again, thanks for reporting this!
