[Dsc-maintainers] Bug#699917: dsc-statistics: Should probably not FTBFS just because of diff being big

retitle 699917 dsc-statistics: Should probably not FTBFS just because of diff being big
tags 699917 + patch
thanks

The bug reported by Thorsten is probably fixed, but only in the sense
that the package does not currently FTBFS.

The underlying bug, the "time bomb" in debian/rules, is still there
(and that's why I'm changing the title).

I don't think packages should fail because of diff being big.

A warning message, maybe, but not a total failure.

So I propose the attached patch. It's annoying enough for a human but
it should be completely harmless for an autobuilder.

[ OTOH, if it is really true that the condition in the "if" block really
  makes repackaging absolutely required, then this bug should just be
  closed. ]

Thanks.
