Branding extensions are the intended way to achieve this. The idea was that
by encapsulating such changes within an extension, branding changes could
remain stable across upgrades, thus making things more convenient and doing
away with the need to patch the webapp itself.

There's no need to deploy a whole new .war each time (though, since you
mentioned branding extensions earlier, perhaps you meant .jar).

It should be possible to script the generation of a branding extension if
the specifics are predictable (logo, icon, changes to the strings). Have
you given writing such a script a shot?
