I have always thought that seeing warnings either from lintian or gcc -Wall shows carelessnes, which is not good in a production system. Not because the warnings themselves, but because the bugs that might get squished while fixing them. For example it might turn out when lintian gets updated that I do some juicy interactivity with the user in my postinst:) BTW the policy manual seems to be a bit uneven on the issue. There is a paragraph telling us that where we should do intersomething with the user, and the necessary protection of debconf isn't mentioned there.
