Thanks for the reminder. There were a lot of changes in 
build-scripts/wikiheaders.pl since 3.2.10, and the groff warnings seem 
to have all been resolved in or before the version currently available 
in testing/unstable.

I don't intend to backport changes this "noisy" to Debian stable, and 
even if I did, the release team would probably reject them anyway as too 
high-risk compared with their benefit; so this is unlikely to change in 
stable. It appears that it will be fixed in the next major release of 
Debian, though.

Thanks,
