Your suggestion is reasonable for me, too. However, grep'ing existing codes [1] reveals that there are other debug messages directed to STDOUT. I don't think they are "bugs". Instead, I guess that the upstream does not strictly manage it. Anyway, you can consult the upstream and file a ticket[2]. This kind of bugs should be first fixed by the upstream, instead of individual distributions.
