I see.

But this trick won't prevent the me to be able to see what X11 print on 
screen, right? This is the reason I do not like this behavior.
Like, for example, "/home/foo/.xinitrc: numlockx: not found", "failing 
to find font foo, falling back to bar", etc. Those messages that people 
not using big DEs can wish to access to (again, I know this is not the 
majority).

Also, note that there is absolutely nothing about that in Debian 
release notes for Jessie. I tried to find something on the web about it 
too, but was never able to find anything relevant. I guess I did not 
used the good search terms.
