I fail to see why modifying gnulib/fts would be a problem.  Yesterday you 
pushed 5 commits with the following diffstat:

 ChangeLog  |  35 +++++++

You even admitted that they could have introduced new bugs.  Now you are 
refusing to push a tiny commit that would significantly help to debug them
in environments where only binaries are available.

That would have unexpected side effects that would complicate the debugging.
