Since the new stricter policies, this PR should be rebased over staging.

The file changed by this PR is only used in the update script and does not cause any rebuild. So it is fine to to merge it into the master branch.

This update script is employed to generate artifacts that should be merged on staging, not on master.

On then other hand, no one is insane enough to generate artifacts directly on staging anyway.
