Some random notes:

1) popcon:
installed: 9 = vote: 1 + old: 7 + recent: 1 + no_files: 0

2) The following trivial patch makes the autopkgtest pass:

3a) This also turns off other warnings (obviously, the whole 'misc'
category);
3b) but actually the code blocks end after this operation so there
shouldn't be much left of ignored warnings  …
