Looking at https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects you are
implying that the bug in license-reconcile impacts licensecheck. How is
that possible? Noone in devscripts should care (at the moment at least)
if licensecheck was removed from Debian entirely.

I thought my reasoning was rather clear:
But I'm also marking this as affects: devscripts, because I find it
surprising that the new licensecheck output includes a line for sample.png,
when the file was explicitly reported as unparseable. It doesn't seem
desirable to me that licensecheck would list files in its output that are
definitely not going to have embedded license/copyright information and
whose copyright information must be listed elsewhere.
Perhaps we want to make sure the new behavior for licensecheck is settled
before patching license-reconcile.
