Debian not having the latest release is a Debian bug that should be
addressed to Debian :-)

I suggest installing the latest.  Surely there's some reasonable away to
do that by taking the control files and moving them forward and
building, or taking a package from unstable, or ?

My UPS's are Eaton ECO 1600 which are well supported by NUT 2.8.1 so I have
less
motivation to move to the latest release.

I was looking at a technique which allows systemd to "Run any Executable as
Systemd Service in Linux".  I'm thinking of a very simple executable
which would
run grep -v <banner> on messages before they get to the journal and
journalctl.
It's based on a suggestion by Abhinand [1].
