There is a regression in the 'arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share' test, which
is causing a false negative in the "binary" testcase.
It seems that the "binary" test has grown in size over time, such that the
size of files *outside* of /usr/share/ ensure that the files *inside*
/usr/share do not meet the threshold percentage as required by the testcase!
The patch is simple:

(2020 is below the threshold hard limit of 2048, so the hard/soft limit
distinction is still being excecised in the testcase.)
