Hmmm, what exactly is "normal testing *as*usual*"? Isn't it a duty of
the maintainer to inspect critical parts of the code? IMHO existing
patches are a perfect sign for a critical part of the code and leaving a
fuzzy patch implies you did not spended time on investigating the code.
A clean patch is somehow a tickmark "Yes, I've checked this problematic
piece of code". I really like this sensible behavour of dpkg-*.
Kind regards
Andreas.
