Hi Christian,

Thanks for issuing this bug report, and for all the additional
debugging (you did my homework!).  ;)

Good, it is great to find the reason for such strange behaviour.

You simply do not need to. The package base is a placeholder for all
these bug reports that we don't know where they belong yet. Usually what
we do is find the package that has this bug and then reassing it to it.

I am very happy to do this for you now, there is no further action you
need to take, except for working with the console-tools maintainer in
fixing this bug :)

Happy hacking!
