I agree, but so far I don't know how to detect that programatically.

I see the point... I don't think it adds clutter, but I'd remove it if
people are not too happy about it.

It is a lot of output, but currently, you have no way to see what is
actually being included in the build, which I think is a problem. I
thought of this when adding the first feature, because I had no way to
easily see what was going on!

About verbosity levels, not really. You have: normal, verbose, and quiet
mode.

Personally, I think this is valuable output, and one can just use
DH_VERBOSE=0
