You don't have to do that for me!  I don't use debbugs *while* checking
whether my packages are still backward compatible.  I just happen to
recompile every package that I have installed when I do that (except for
those that I have already added to my list of packages that are not
backward compatible).

I just described how I came across those warnings. I reported to inform
the maintainers that they should do *something* about it.  I didn't mean
to imply that in those situations I have an urgent need for debbugs to
be usable.  Depending on a more recent Emacs would be perfectly fine
with me.
