Yes, this is probably true. It's the same fragment in the
request-tracker3.8 package. Strictly speaking it should probably
have allowed single character files, so I'm not sure why the regex
is this way.

However, your question has prompted more thought and it's probably
not a suitable change for stable; certainly it changes the behaviour
a bit too much.

Please could you reconsider my request without that part of the patch?

Thanks,
Dominic.
