I have, in some cases. Do you have build logs available somewhere?

This is most probably a buggy document (or stylefile) that has a wrong
test for pdf output, and produces pdf instead of dvi if the TeX engine
understands \pdfoutput, even if it has carefully been set to 0.

Errors like that are delibarate - the library has changed considerably,
and is now called libkpathsea4-dev in order to force maintainers to
really test their packages.

This could point to the same pdf-instead-of-dvi problem, this time as
intermediate files, together with a broken build system that doesn't
notice that it failed...

That's most probably just a bug in the texinfo sources, nothing that has
been triggered by the version change of teTeX.

Not at all - that's just a warning about bad line breaking, and for sure
not dependent on the version.

Most probably irrelevant and not version-dependent

Minor relevance and not version-dependent

No idea, but I wouldn't bother too much.

Thank you for your great work!
