(Get the code!)
I'll file another bug.
Since I just told the system it was a patch, I think it's user hostile for the system to tell me I'm wrong. It's doubly frustrating when the system is slow and wrong.
Fortunately (for me), as an Ubuntu core-dev it's not something I hit regularly (generally I just upload ), but I still need to use debdiffs for security updates.
I think your point about the action being reversable is a good one. If it were up to me I'd remove the check entirely. I think if the system is going to second guess a user in a situation like this it should have a high confidence of being correct.
I agree with your comment that it's not worth the effort to make it that good.
