I'm really not worried about the source debdiff. The fact we've had
a new upload, and new builds, with possibly other packages getting
updated, is why I err on the side of caution.

(That being said, a diffoscope on say the amd64 binaries is really
clean. See libdatrie1 for a prime example of a one-line Makefile
debdiff's leading to less obvious changes on the binary side.)

I don't think that was ever in doubt? I was trying to communicate
“please go through the motions of a proper unblock request, I'm not
taking responsibility for hinting this on my own”.
