wow I though the solution was "easy" thanks for keeping it running and rocking!
feel free to take your time, I was making sure this bug was not "disappeared" :)
I'm not sure if src:file migration to testing is stalled by this bug...
grep-excuses file
file (1:5.38-3 to 1:5.38-4)
Maintainer: Christoph Biedl
7 days old (needed 5 days)
Migration status for file (1:5.38-3 to 1:5.38-4): Waiting for test results,
another package or too young (no action required now - check later)
Issues preventing migration:
autopkgtest for binutils: amd64: <span style="background:#99ddff">Test in
progress (will not be considered a regression)</span>, arm64: <span
style="background:#99ddff">Test in progress</span>
autopkgtest for lintian/2.46.0: amd64: <span
style="background:#87d96c">Pass</span>, arm64: <span
style="background:#ff6666">Reference test in progress, but real test failed
already</span>
