Actually I find these messages very instructive for people like me,
which had no idea about this (new with Emacs-25?) abbreviation ability!

`This could be an unmentioned improvement.' ;-)

In the contrary I appreciate such messages very much because they remind
me to become more efficient.

*But* above hint is not optimal!  It should have
been for example  `M-x d-o- <RET>' and not: M-x deb-o RET!
                       ^^^^^^^^^^

So bug#19152 is for real, since the hints are not yet conforming to key
binding conventions and might return an ambiguous and not optimal
(regarding to speed) key sequence.

Thank you for the key binding hints

        Dieter
