It's not a debug message, it's a warning message. > In any case, if you fear that the ABI change may break something, > you should rebuild the packages. I don't fear it will break something, but I worry that if it did break something it would be much harder for people to work out what's going on. A binNMU for wxwidgets3.0 is OK by me - the point I was trying to make in #844526 is that it's not helpful to just binNMU wxwidgets3.0 - you also need to binNMU any rdeps which haven't yet been rebuilt with the newer compiler ABI - otherwise you're just moving the warnings to different packages.
