Ouch, indeed. This is… surprising, there’s not been a deliberate
change even near that area. I can confirm the delta in installing
in clean chroots, though:

These seem to be the only ones affected, from the apt-get install
output, though I’ll also look at the packages. I’ll investigate.

Thanks for noticing,
