I just read the backlog of the bug report (by default, submitters of bug 
reports in Debian don't get notified of messages, I missed the 
discussion). It seems my worry was already raised. The bug was 
reassigned to logol, so the swi-prolog maintainers missed my message.

Maybe swi-prolog maintainers can comment.
