At that point, you have the patent-encumbered files in your (src-)git
history. I do not think the src-git approach is legally possible at all
for these packages, at least not based on upstream git.

See Simo’s mail:

we are working towards removing hobbling and replacing with compilation
switches that clearly and permanently disable questionable material in the
binaries.


HTH,
