instead of build/ (that should be only relevant to packagers)
* FIX: log messages of regression would be too verbose at level INFO/5
* FIX: man pages are pre-generated from asciidoc to avoid one

level 8 or 9
* NEW: Adds a --size option to the remove increments command that
causes it to add these increments' size to the lines showing the
