Hi,

We are using python3-apt in a configuration management system, LCFG.
Because there are some debugging messages in the code, every machine
sends us these messages when they do updates:

Stdout:
got fd: 5


Stderr:
custom fork found
got pid: 1054321
got pid: 0

These messages are leftover debugging messages that don't add value any
more. They should be removed. (I could filter them, but the correct
approach seems to be to remove them.)

I created a pull request on Salsa which fixes this, but I never got a
reply. I sent a bump message after a reasonable length of time, and
still didn't get a reply, so I'm trying here instead. If this is the
wrong place to address this problem, or I have done something else
wrongly, please tell me.

Thanks,
Bruce
