No, it is not a bad question. Unfortunately I don't have a solid answer. I have a solid cover so most of my debris is smaller tree needles and particles. Most of my larger debris (which I would categorize the leave issue) would end up in my strainer basket. I know some Paramount systems come with an optional 'debris removal' canister but I do not have one and can't say how it works. Check out the below link, they have some graphics and details.
