That's a horrible way of doing it.

There are a few solutions to your problem:
1) patches dir. Personally, I discourage it, but it is a highly effective method for your specific issue.
2) replacement package. Duplicate the original package (same GUID), swap your files, put it in USER_OEM. Your package will replace the original package.
3) patch package. All the power of the patchdir, wrapped up as a package. Highly effective, and probably the solution of choice 9 times out of 10.
