Should, yes. In this case Handbrake is downloading source archives
itself, then unpacking them and running various scripts. So there's no easy
way within the framework of the automated build process to modify
any of the files, which is presumably why this game is necessary.

An alternative might be to create fixed tarballs of affected packages and
drop
them into the download directory. I don't think Handbrake bothers verifying
the
tarball checksums, so it might work.
