Hi Ralf,

I reported this upstream at https://github.com/plk/biber/issues/403,
but the maintainer suggested this might be a packaging issues since
they could not reproduce the problem.

I've copied (partially) two commits from upstream dev branch, which solve your specific issue. In [1] we have a statement that the test suite still generates warnings, so I hope for another patch.

I've pulled (partially) the patches, which solve your issue from upstream. These parts do not solve the remaining issues completely, but reduce the number of warnings significantly. They will be completely gone in one of the next biber versions. A preliminary Debian package is here [1].

I'll close your bug in the next upload, I'll wait until libencode-eucjpascii-perl has entered Debian to get rid of another build warning.
