Yes. As you can read in the script comment block:

#
# This script updates your script files from the official
# unattended cvs repository.
#
# This scripts crawles through your script directory, and
# tries to update every found file from the cvs. You can
# define exceptions in this script.
#
# Warning #1: this scripts overwrites YOUR changes to official
# script files without any warning! Please double-check that
# none of your own-written scripts accidentially have the same
# name than any of the official scripts.
#
# Warning #2: it does not add scripts in the cvs that are
# not found in your script directory. You have to download
# new scripts once manually.
#
# Warning #3: you might want to call it as cron job, but
# please be not surprised by broken scripts in the cvs.
# This happens from time to time.

You have two possibilities:

1. rename
2. define an exception in script-udpdate:

# exceptions
#exceptions=( "win2ksp4-updates.bat" "win2ksp4-symbols.bat" )
exceptions=( )

(lines no. 25 - 27)

Yes. We like the idea of having a small solution for every small 
problem.

Of course, you can create an umbrella script (or cron job) calling 
script-update first and prepare afterwards, or just call both scripts 
from the shell:

./script-update; ./prepare <lngcode>
