Do you want me to report a Debian bug for each upstream issue? Or do you
really believe upstream bugs don't apply to Debian packages?

I consider refusing to parse broken files instead of silently removing
data an important bug fix. In fact, silent data breakage is a grave bug,
which means this fix is perfectly compliant with the freeze policy.

Now, if you don't provide us with the necessary data, we won't be able
to fix the regression it introduces in gnucash.
