By downgrading to wishlist, I assume you don't consider it relevant for
fixing this for jessie.

Do you really think it's a good idea to clutter the dist-upgrade with
those messages?
Aside from hiding potentially important messages, I fear this will to
quite a few pointless bug reports and worried users.

I.e., I'm convinced this should be fixed for jessie.
