I'd say fixing debootstrap to downgrade certain things from Warning
to Info is the right thing to do, rather than disable the Warning
feature entirely.
A worse problem, IMHO, is that the warning box gets scrolled off the
screen by all the "Unpacking ...", "Setting up...." messages that
scroll up my screen staircase fashion. Maybe that is a feature of
a serial console install, and output goes somewhere else on a
graphical install.
