This is assuming we were using those. We weren’t.

We were downloading the tarballs corresponding to the tags
from each individual repository AND the hotspots for aarch32
AND aarch64-shenandoah, as well as a couple other things such
as icedtea-sound, *individually*, processing these for legal
reasons (unfree json.org code from Crackford, removal of some
embedded courtesy code copies), packing them up and creating
the source archive from this multi-tarball setup.

At build time, the right ones are chosen (again, this includes
special handling for aarch{32,64-shenandoah}), unpacked and
patched suitably.
