Such a drastic change in behavior demands a new flag, not a radical repurposing of a widely used existing flag.
I was hoping to see more action on this bug, but that hasn't happened. I'm not sure I see a way forward for debian other than reverting to the old behavior. I am reluctant to do so as that will likely lead to divergent behavior between distributions, but breaking scripts without a compelling reason is also not good. I would encourage coreutils to reconsider the change and finding a non-breaking way forward.
