I've been running debsums with that patch on my piuparts instance since
I posted it, and it helped reducing weird errors (rerunning all the
strange logs) :-)
So I'm all for seeing it in stretch :-)

It's a possible regression ... in a corner case and so far it only
happened in a buggy package. Maybe it even revealed that buggy package.
If it shows up elsewhere as a real regression, I'll dig further into it.
