While cuddling and caressing her nice rear part :) I noticed some rather small black chunks from the inner frame's black color on the rear element's surface, which hadn't been there before. More close inspection revealed, that the black color was too thick in a few small areas, showing those very small chunks. Some had fallen down druing transport, and later, when slightly touched or cleaned. Maybe you "debris" is something similar ?
