The Poisson avoidance conjecture for a system of linear forms

From papers

Let qq be a prime, let Fq\mathbb F_q be the finite field with qq elements, let d=π(q1)d=\pi(q-1), and let LnL_n be the linear forms from the paper on Fqd\mathbb F_q^d. For x0Fqx_0\in\mathbb F_q, the Poisson avoidance conjecture. As qq\to\infty,

#{vFqd:Ln(v)x0 for 1nq}qd=e1+o(1).\frac{\#\{\mathbf v\in\mathbb F_q^d: L_n(\mathbf v)\neq x_0\text{ for }1\leq n\leq q\}}{q^d}=e^{-1}+o(1).

The assertion expresses the expected Poisson probability that none of the qq prescribed linear conditions is met. The supplied passage gives the expected asymptotic but does not indicate a proof or resolution.
