Hi LaMont,

Please note that the release team do not pre-approve changes without
seeing a concrete debdiff.

In the particular case, it has been suggested that the final changes
compared to testing will be 87 000 (or more) lines.  Unless 97+% of this
is pure documentational/auto-generated changes, which can be filtered
out and turn this into a sanely reviewable diff, I find it unlikely that
we can approve of these changes.
