Thanks for filing this bug report. For the moment, I am waiting for (a final) upstream input about those warning, in this bug: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=57604 But giving: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=49996 I doubt they are willing to reconsider deprecating egrep and fgrep.
