Ah, spoke too soon.

BEFORE apt-utils installed - ALL installs produce W mesasge

AFTER apt-utils installed - NEW installs only produce W message; re-
installing packages which have been been removed does NOT produce W
message. Removing using 'apt purge' displays furterh warnings about
pemrission failures when deleting.

Test case

apt install xkcdpass          W message displayed
apt remove xkcdpass           no warnings
apt install xkcdpass          no message displayed
apt purge xkcdpass            warnings displayed - Permission denied removing 
file from /var/cache/man
apt install xkcdpass          no message displayed
