Thanks, done.

There is already an unrelated commit in git, and different maintainers 
have different preferences how to deal with that when integrating an
NMU into git.

Handling this kind of workflow differences is what I do not want to 
bother with.

And then there's all kind of other "fun" you run into when looking at 
maintainer git trees, like when the contents of a tag for the previous 
upload does not match what is in the archive.

Similar to for example debhelper compat levels or "use" in perl, this is 
a potentially breaking change.

There were some compatibility policies with older CMake versions where 
the old behaviour is no longer supported.

It seems to rarely break in practice, but I do see the point of it.
