After changing the contents of package/customize/source, did you make a
full rebuild (i.e clean everything and restart the build) ?

If not, then the stamp file $(BUILD_DIR)/.customize already existed, so
the contents of package/customize/source are not copied to the target
directory. If you want to force the reinstallation of customized files
without rebuilding everything, then do 'make customize-clean' and
restart make.

Sincerly,

Thomas
