I discussed this with hasufell on IRC, but I'll lay out the response
on the list too. Yes, this was my fault. We (KDE team) tested in our
overlay, but none of the packages there use the base_src_* calls,
which is why it didn't come up in testing, and I did not realize that
there were packages that did rely on the implicit base inherit to call
base_src_* directly.
