Hello Frank,

This is currently the case, yes.

The manpage does not mandate -d to be useful actually.

The option -v is to debug the menu system and -d to debug 
the update-menus program. Therefore what does -d should be left to 
the developers to decide (and one of them proposed to remove -d
completly so we reached this middleground).

Errors in the file are already reported.

I will try to add a verbose output when files are discarded due to
package check. Would that be sufficient ?
