retitle 699917 dsc-statistics: Should probably not FTBFS just because of diff
being big
tags 699917 + patch
thanks
The bug reported by Thorsten is probably fixed, but only in the sense
that the package does not currently FTBFS.
The underlying bug, the "time bomb" in debian/rules, is still there
(and that's why I'm changing the title).
I don't think packages should fail because of diff being big.
A warning message, maybe, but not a total failure.
So I propose the attached patch. It's annoying enough for a human but
it should be completely harmless for an autobuilder.
[ OTOH, if it is really true that the condition in the "if" block really
makes repackaging absolutely required, then this bug should just be
closed. ]
Thanks.
