Yes. I was a little worried I would have trouble doing it without
relying on a lot of pack internals, but the infrastructure you set up in
t5303 makes it relatively easy (and we do not have to make any
assumptions that t5303 does not already make).

Here is a re-roll; the first patch is a small cleanup in t5303 that is
required for the new tests to work.

  [1/2]: t5303: drop "count=1" from corruption dd
  [2/2]: unpack_entry: do not die when we fail to apply a delta
