Yes, sorry. It was a bad copy/paste :/

We don't seem to have the same definition of "large". For this specific
case, the changes between the unblocked version and sid's current
version look like:

$ debdiff supercollider_3.5.2-1.dsc supercollider_3.5.3~repack-1.dsc \
   | diffstat | tail -n1
  3040 files changed, 5266 insertions(+), 581639 deletions(-)

This pretty looks as "large". Ignoring the bits that were deleted when
repacking, the debian/ directory, etc… this leads us to:

  53 files changed, 746 insertions(+), 701 deletions(-)

which is nicer indeed but still qualifies as large.

Why did you import 3.5.3 instead of working on fixing 3.5.2? (I'm not
sure it is relevant now but that might help us to understand the
situation better).

We would prefer targeted fixes based on the version of testing.

Kind Regards,
