Bug#801609: license-reconcile: FTBFS: cannot parse file 't/data/example/sample.png'

[Nicholas Bamber]

Looking at https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects you are 
implying that the bug in license-reconcile impacts licensecheck. How is 
that possible? Noone in devscripts should care (at the moment at least) 
if licensecheck was removed from Debian entirely.
