The first disables the perl warnings for when the program is not found (the equivalent of first line for 1.18.x, but w/o going via the shell), and the second removes the need completely of calling gcc (so the second line will not even be emitted). I've queued these for 1.19.x. > A bug report has already been filled for dpkg-dev 1.14.26 : > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526132 Although this was for extraction which is a quite different code path, so not a regression or anything.
