While I can see the intent behind the above (forcing "run-parts --report" to output the script name to stderr rather than stdout), it wasn't immediately obvious. The kernel handbook (in https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html ), suggests "exec </dev/null >&2", which seems much more idiomatic.
