Description
It appears our debug_printf format string parsing has some issues (see https://github.com/Rust-GPU/rust-gpu/issues/51#issuecomment-2510259041 and other comments).
I'd like to outsource most parsing to uucore's format string parser, but that is blocked on https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/6903 landing.
