Yes, although it takes a bit of effort. You can use the --local-dir option of gnulib-tool, which allows overriding individual Gnulib files or modules or applying patches to Gnulib files; or you can define a bootstrap_post_import_hook function in bootstrap.conf and do whatever you want there. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
