I fully agree here. Luckily we have maintainers dashboard which now
puts a additional package on my desk. So xdelta3 would raise a signal
there which I would act upon hopefully in a timely manner hopefully.
My point was rather that the suggested salvage procedure might not raise
any signal and I'm pretty sure that I would have lost track on this.
Kind regards
