Hi. The underlying problem here is that dpkg-source does not report
all the errors:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1126665

So, yes, it may be the case that some packages now fail for a "different" reason.

But it can also be the case that the fix was incomplete because the
original report was incomplete as well (because of the above bug).

I've seen this to happen quite often when people fix the thing that
they see in the build log but do not bother to try again.

Since I don't have an easy way to determine if the fix that was
implemented at the time was correct or not, I decided to reopen
the bug when I was able to determine that it currently fails.

I agree that this may not be perfect, but I believe it was better
than the all the other alternatives.

Thanks.
