Ouch, you are completely right ...

Exactly.

Thanks for the notice.

The file is exactly 3.5k in size, the mangle-source.sh (which contains
bashism but starts with #!/bin/sh - another issue) only checks for
multiples of 2k

Great, another super catch. Replacing -empty with -size 6c should work
here.
I am willing to do an NMU for fixing this, it would be a pity if vice
would get dropped.
When I get the patch ready I'll followup to this bugreport.
So long,
