The package works only by luck, the warning does indicate that something wrong is happening. I do think that in the case of hwloc it could very well crash, because structures have changed between hwloc1 and hwloc2. Personally I almost always leave the stderr check, because most often they are a sign of something wrong happening, and we want to fix it somewhere, even if it is harmless for the test at case. Perhaps what we are lacking here is a button for the maintainer of the migrating package and the maintainer of the failing package to be able to say "never mind, this is fine", and/or another to say "please retry this with all to-be-migrated packages". That could cover most of the cases, without the debian-release team having to delve into them. Samuel
