undo limit vs. .deb

With Debian emacs-snapshot 20060730-1 upon find-file
/var/cache/apt/archives/mediawiki1.7_1.7.1-1_all.deb I see:

The undo info was discarded because it exceeded `undo-outer-limit'.

This is normal if you executed a command that made a huge change
to the buffer.  In that case, to prevent similar problems in the
future, set `undo-outer-limit' to a value that is large enough to
cover the maximum size of normal changes you expect a single
command to make, but not so large that it might exceed the
maximum memory allotted to Emacs.

If you did not execute any such command, the situation is
probably due to a bug and you should report it.

OK I'm reporting it.
.deb's owned by root are read only, so no undo necessary.
