Thanks!

Indeed. I did not add it for that reason, nor did I even add a comment
about it either: the reasoning was that other packages that can
optionally use it (e.g. usbutils for lsusb, pciutils for lspci) do not
mention it either.

I should have mentionned that in the commit log, sorry.

Agreed, this is annoying...
