FWIW:  It is mentioned in the changelog entry for 0.1.1a-1.  Not sure if
the -2 upload to mentors was build without -v or if mentors just ignored it.

Regarding the other RC bug (#652826):  Fix seems to be trivial.

Apparently the maintainer tries it's best (well, could have tagged the
one bug pending), so I see no point in an NMU or a removal.  So to
answer his question in #652826:

I am and I would be willing.  Could you please provide a package also
fixing that RC bug?

I'll upload it as soon as I could test it, however so far logkeys fails
for me with the following error message:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/logkeys start
Starting logkeys: /usr/bin/logkeys: LC_CTYPE locale must be of UTF-8 type


However, I do have such a locale:
$ locale|grep LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
