#664869 was open undisputed for ten years, nobody cared.
I am tagging this bug wontfix and will close it with the trixie+1
release. Please point me to the place where this accidental misfeature
was ever documented, I might revisit my decision then.
If this actually was never documented, please refer this issue to the
technical committee.
Greetings
Marc
