AFAIK, they all do, and it should be a pretty straightforward matter to
fix things. Just tedious. FWIW, I did a bit more analysis and noted
that the majority of the problems are concentrated in just a few
packages, eg GraphicsMagick has 234 warnings and texlive 119. The
majority of the 74 packages with such issues only have a couple.
(I'll post a complete list of affected packages once it's time to do
the work, of course.)

Yeah, that's sort of my feeling as well. But I could understand
package maintainers getting ticked off over having to do this work
"right now" in order to rebuild their packages. On the other hand,
it looks like the glib guys broke considerably more packages than
this without any by-your-leave, so maybe I'm just being too polite.
