As the merged http://bugs.debian.org/650179 shows, this happens only as root, so a workaround is to call this command as user instead. Since I used the word "workaround", the issue only appears when running the command as root but not as normal user, and since I felt the urge to tag it as "confirmed", this is definitely more severe than just "wishlist". I'm hence raising the severity to "minor" (only, since there is a workaround).
