Is it also possible to allow "long Package-List"? This is the error I
now got on the glibc package:
E: glibc source: field-too-long Package-List (5075 chars > 5000)
It's probably possible to drop some fields like build profiles to go
below the 5000 chars limit, but it also means dropping some
functionality.
Thanks,
Aurelien
