No, it's not that - sorry for not being clear.  It's that I thought the LSR 
imports happened periodically (along with the convert-ly rules) and that they 
didn't need to be incorporated into patches.  The convert-ly rules should work 
perfectly on the file, but if they're run twice on the file (which was my 
concern - that I would run it once and then it'd be run again during the LSR 
import), then extra Flag #'transparent calls will be printed.
