Good. Your API key will work fine as long as you build with
MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=0.

If you ever need to change that, let me know and we can figure out a
work-around.

We need to uplift https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1394053
to Beta to fix this.

Essentially, you can't use download protection on non-official builds
(it wouldn't be of any value on BSD anyways, it's mostly for Windows
malware), and you need to use a different phishing list.
