Oops, it didn't came through the list, perhaps because it was in HTML.

Log (+ a real time log, when bread-and-butter are important and the
following steps are done in passing, so even a little bit referring to
the off-topic thread 'time', in a context were milliseconds buried in
imperceptibility, this might be a useful information for those who will
do the same, no sarcasm)

It's not that time consuming, when there's nothing else to do, but
tedious when doing it in passing and a good reason that users have to do
such things from time to time, because packages maintainers doing it for
free, have a life beyond Linux too.
