This was caused by '--version' option not being supported by some of the 
programs. Fixed in 2.5.0-2 upload.

Not sure this is necessary undesirable. The upstream wants every program 
to print a notice on them belonging to a group and suggestion to 
distribute them as a group, what might be addressed to Debian's 
derivatives. However, if you think these paragraphs should be moved to 
package description or debian/README.Debian, this could be done, but 
will need quite extensive patching.

Best,
Andrius
