Please document this as also requiring a rebuild.

The preference from my side is to, as much as possible, bootstrap with
pristine sources from the Ubuntu archive. So if packages can be changed to
support a stage1 build profile, and be uploaded to the archive now, I
believe it's better to do this and get this in the archive now; then
afterwards do stage1 bootstrap builds, and finally do no-change rebuilds to
the archive. This lets us separate the "bootstrap" process from the
"sourceful changes" process, and reduce the risk of misbuilds or
mis-uploads.
