Someone uploaded a broken .changes file that had different sizes for the
same file:

The error handling in the archive software is not very good for this
error: it stops processing, thus all .changes files sorted after this
one did not get processed.

The file was now moved away.

Anyway, people should *not* edit .changes files manually as it is too
easy to refer to the wrong files, e.g., a different .orig tarball than
was used to build the package. I suspect someone did manually edit the
file here.
