Thanks for the effort.

The instruction for that one was only meant for Sylvain, who knows how
to install and run "d-mods". I created the "minibug" dmod to make it
easier for you. ;-)

Yes, these are normal and harmless.

Yes, waiting until after the release is fine. The code isn't as buggy as
I appearantly suggested. However, I've only seen this problem with one
add-on (not with the original game). So it's not really a problem at
all. But it is a bug, so it should be fixed.

Whether a -dbg package is useful depends on if it would be useful for
many users. One bug doesn't require a package to solve it.

Thanks,
