Silent, as there is no translation present.

Warn, request that the file is renamed from no.po to nb.po.

Silent, as everything is OK.

Warn, as the two files are supposed to be only one file.  If you fix
your package to use nb.po for both 'nb' and 'no', I see no reason to
have both files present, and believe one of the should be removed to
make sure the effort is spent keeping only one file up to date.

I agree.
