Correct, the Debian and Ubuntu packages use the NSS-based SSL backend, but the message is spurious (upsc does not send passwords) and can be ignored.

To be honest, I thought we had fixed this a while ago (NUT 2.7.1), but I guess it popped back up again: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/30
