It looks like this unwelcome log noise was fixed in:
commit ad9ce65e5956b47d8cdd42232a3f303cb4b1832b
Author: SZALAY Attila <sasa at debian.org>
Date: Sun May 5 21:26:16 2024 +0100
Update configuration and eliminate warnings
But then the fix was reverted in:
commit 5cb6d625cb4fac2708b3834ac9bf234ffd279237
Author: Laszlo Boszormenyi (GCS) <gcs at debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 18 12:14:00 2024 +0200
Revert copyright and autopkgtest changes
I wonder if this was intended?
A similar change makes it go away now.
