These messages can be annoying but normal:

That can be a differenet issue. If you have installed lm-sensors package 
and what to use it, you will have to configure to detect your systems 
values properly. Depending on your motherboard chipset it will be easier 
or hard to achieve. I would start by reading lm-sensors manual, Debian 
docs and online documentation :-)

Those events are fine, you should not worry unless you notice your system 
runs very very hot and BIOS is displaying CPU/system temps values at high 
levels...

Hum... that can explain the warnings showed at the log. The next kernel 
update that integrates the above-mentioned patch may hide the messages.
