OK, that makes sense. Thanks for your fast and precise answer, Joey
(but I wasn't expecting less..:-))

As a consequence, this is not exactly a bug but more a feature.

It's not anyway really a blocker for me as my build box will soon be
updated to jessie.

I suggest marking the bug as fixed in version 1.2x (x>5 and x<=8) and
maybe keep it opened as referene for people who'll be falling in the
same trap in the future?
