Can you make this package available somewhere so we could take a look at
it (or at least tell us its name ;)? Does it trigger any other errors and
or warnings?
But yeah, I can confirm from looking at the code that if the binaries
really only need libs from within the package there could be spurios
warnings. (As almost all binaries are linked against libc anyway, they
should be nearly non-existant, though)
Gruesse,
