Fix would be appreciated.
This appears related to (and perhaps a duplicate of) #1039607 [1]. As I noted there, I think the strategy should be to revert the default behavior to match upstream and add functionality as needed for colorized output in pdebuild. I will try to allocate some time to work on this next week. Thanks, tony [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039607
