    I find it useful. Sincerely i also remeber I had seen in the past r reporting correctly, but probably/evidently my memory fails.

    The presumed output of r command it's concise enough to be useful if you maintain many different distributions.

    What it's strange is that nobody noticed this before. Anyway i got a fast reply from the kind maintainer:

    > Thanks for the report! It's very nice to see a bug reported that is older than 20 years. Fixed in the repository in commit b5f9ae3c.
