This is not only for source-only uploads, this is also a QA issue. I'm checking all packages for "dpkg-buildpackage -A". This one makes me to waste 80 minutes of CPU time only to ensure that "dpkg-buildpackage -A" works, so if the question is "does it worth to fix this in stretch while the package still exists?" I would answer "definitely yes". In other words: the upload could be source-only for you, but as far as I have it in my list of packages to check, it is certainly not source-only for me. I could of course exclude the package from the list of packages to check, but I would much prefer to reserve such list for packages that make the autobuilder to hang, like this one which also hangs the autobuilder from reproducible builds people: https://reproducible.debian.net/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/tbb.html Moreover, the patch is very small and it should be very easy to check for correctness (otherwise, I would probably not have bothered to create it in the first place). Thanks.
