Sorry, I do not get what you mean:

Do you mean that I should test and apply renaming patch without
removing 'util.ht'?  I really do not like this -- that would mean
patching both copies or leaving a potential bug.

So you want something like:

: We messed up.  We hade the rule:
: 
: <old rule>
:
: We should not try to install two source files into single location,
: so we removed the rule.

I find such "explanation" silly: we have version control and change
logs to keep history.  And does not explain anything about the system
_after_ the fix is applied.
