Hello. I received no feedback from upstream developers regarding this issue. As I decided to keep upstream behavior rather than diverting from it, using '-- kib_base=1000' is your option in case you decide to adhere to the standard.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=872321 I am in the process of adding a README.Debian file about this and to close the bug with the package that contains this file. Thanks, -- Martin
