Hm, installing python (or python3 nowadays?) packages can be tricky.
(system/user install, installing by pip/pip3 or apt ...)

Ah, current behavior does help such a situation!

Not much of a use case, but for example, random experimental outputs
under CodeSamples/ not covered by .gitignore will generate the "(m)",
which looks irrelevant.
But my view point was of receiving side of your updates.
Now I know you've relied on the current behavior and changing it
should be regarded as a regression.

I thought full $description in non-release builds could be too long
for the footer area, but the position of the watermark in the preamble
specifies the center, and it looks reasonable. Thank you!

As mentioned above, I'm OK with keeping the current behavior.
Adding some namespaces to .gitignore might be a better approach,
but it is not urgent at all.
