So when you package Rosegarden, you hack it up and make arbitrary changes, 
then you want to upstream a patch that refers to your local changes, even 
though in the hands of everyone else in the world, it will break exactly the 
problem you aimed to solve with the patch.

We can't accept this.

In theory, we could accept this accompanied by another patch to actually 
install the files to the location you want to load them from, but that would 
break our intent to put these files in userland where they are readily 
modified, and we have no desire to do that.  It is frequently necessary to 
make minor changes to these files one time on any individual user's system to 
get them to play, and the intent behind all of this was to make it possible to 
save them in place.

If you want to break that, it's your baby.
