This is my fault:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ben/-/commit/72ed3a1d38229320ded73853f7ae43bc796184c1

The added line 48 was a debugging line that I added during development 
and should not have slipped into a release. I can either condition it on 
--verbose and/or --quiet, or remove it altogether (basically a 1-line 
patch).

However, this is stable and this is not a RC bug. How do you want to 
proceed?


Cheers,
