The problem that I have is that I build packages all the time, and for
most of them I'm uploading to unstable and don't ever use the -v flag.
Adding the -v flag is easy enough; *remembering* to add the -v flag is a
lot harder.
In general, computers are better at remembering things than I am, so I
like to find ways to let computers remember things for me. Most of my
backports I do via a script that requires I provide the -v flag, to make
me remember, but that doesn't catch the more complicated backports that I
can't script and need to manage as separate Git branches.
