However, my feeling is, the less change to a package you have to do to get
it working, the better. If the warnings really offend you that much, I would
suggest using debian/rules to disable them, since that wouldn't be an actual
change to the package. However, since they are just warnings, they aren't
doing any harm, and it may be useful/interesting to leave warnings on, say,
to compare the output from autobuilders compiling this package on different
platforms.
