Ack. An example can be seen at https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libdebian-dep12-perl/-/blob/master/debian/patches/yaml-xs-version.patch?ref_type=heads > I am not sure about the severity of this.

At runtime we just see the warning quoted above; but it breaks the testsuite: https://ci.debian.net/packages/l/lintian/testing/amd64/52019879/ (That's "just" the autopktests, but I guess the same happens during build which makes lintian FTBFS.)
