both look straight-forward.
Anyone likes to apply them in SVN and commit if it works?

Do you have some references to the problem?

I tend to agree with Hanno here.
We would loose some information on possible code improvements because
the developers mostly use a stable Debian. But the gains as Hanno explained
are worth more than that, IMHO.
The change makes developers force to fix warning right away. Which seems
OK to me. Dropping -Werr even from Development would let too many code
problems creep in over time.

So, anyone disagrees with switch the -Werr from Release to Development?

If not, I would suggest to apply the change already for the  tarballs 
planned for this week.

Best

Jan
