In build-improvements, the .lisp files have depenencies on 
.lisp.pamphlet so that when .lisp are newer -- e.g. contained
hand-made changes -- they are not overwritten by the untangling
machinery.  Similarly the result of Boot -> Lisp translation
has careful dependency so that hand-made tweaks are not overwritten.
