Comment (by mcs):

 6.0a5 -> 6.5a1 updates are also affected of course.
 Should we modify the update manifests to not advertise the flawed
 incremental MARs? Or can we manually generate new MARs (including complete
 MARs that contain signed files)?

 I guess the big challenge is to sign everything before we generate the
 complete MAR files (or we could possibly regenerate them / create them
 later in the process).
