it would be useful if adequate would indicate in its exit code if it
emitted warnings or not.
Agreed. But this will almost certainly break piuparts, so I'll have to
talk to piuparts folks first.
What doesn't work as expected:
$ adequate whizzytex ; echo $?
whizzytex: broken-symlink /usr/share/doc/whizzytex/examples/mlpost/mlpostx.native
-> _build/mlpostx.native

This would be helpful for using adequate within autopkgtest tests.
adequate has a DEP-8 test that checks if it is adequate-clean. But I
haven't thought about using it in other packages' autopkgtests. Very
clever, thanks for the hint. :-)
In the mean time you can exploit the fact that non-empty stderr is by
default considered an error:
adequate whizzytex >&2
Or, if you use the allow-stderr restriction, you can use this
monstrosity:
adequate whizzytex 2>&1 | ( ! grep . )
