Not at all. This is just the kernel telling you that the program you are
running uses a deprecated system call. Things will generally work fine,
until you update to a newer kernel that has completely removed support
for this system call. This will usually takes a long time, though.
You might want to report a bug, but since it is (currently) a minor
issue and because things like that go hardly unnotices by the developers
/ maintainers I'd just sit & wait. Of course, you are welcome to send a
patch. ;-)
