kexec-tools-2.0.2 prints unnecessary message on stderr when loaded in VESA framebuffer

Hi,
In kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c:setup_linux_vesafb():
fprintf(stderr, "%s: %dx%dx%d @ %lx +%x\n", __FUNCTION__,
var.xres, var.yres, var.bits_per_pixel,
fix.smem_start, fix.smem_len);
This message is pretty annoying (especially if kexec is loaded several
times with different parameters during startup/shutdown). Looking in
that source file, that's the only fprintf which is not an error. Is it
really necessary?
I opened a Gentoo bug report
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407445), and the assignee
suggested reporting upstream.
Thanks,
Maxim
