Package: prelink
Version: 0.0.20090925-1
Severity: normal

hello,

'debdelta-upgrade' uses 'prelink -u -o pristinebin installedbin'
to obtain the pristine version of a binary , so as to upgrade it
using a delta

unfortunately the above does sometimes change files that were not prelinked

e.g. download  http://mennucc1.debian.org/kvm_filesystem
and then run 

$ /usr/sbin/prelink -u -o  kvm_filesystem_u  kvm_filesystem 
$ cmp -l  kvm_filesystem_u  kvm_filesystem 

you will see that the files are different in two bytes; whereas 

$ /usr/sbin/prelink -u   kvm_filesystem 
prelink: kvm_filesystem does not have .gnu.prelink_undo section
