Weak Donovan conjecture on bounded Cartan invariants

Let \ell be a prime, let kk be the coefficient field, and let DD be a finite \ell-group. For a finite group GG, let BB be a block of kGkG and let its Cartan matrix record the Cartan invariants of BB.

Weak Donovan conjecture. There exists a constant c(D)Nc(D)\in\mathbb N such that, if GG is a finite group and BB is a block of kGkG with defect group isomorphic to DD, then the entries of the Cartan matrix of BB are bounded by c(D)c(D).

The source states that Donovan's conjecture is equivalent to this conjecture together with boundedness of Morita Frobenius numbers. The supplied context gives no resolution of the weak Donovan conjecture.
