You are welcome.

Ahhh, well, this will probably lead to new build failures.  I'd suggest
to rather add an exclusion list rather than a positive list which should
be shorter and more transparent (at least I would thinks so).  In any
case I added your explanation above to debian/README.source since I will
definitely forget such particular issues on single packages considering
the amount of packages I'm dealing with.

Thanks for your prompt response which is similarly helpful as if you
would have worked on the bug itself. 

Kind regards

       Andreas.
