No, the warning is not useful. That is why I complain about this commit
:-)

It should either be dropped completely (fine with me) or replacement
with a stat in the pkgdb, assuming that it will work if the user has
write access to that. But as I don't think this warning provides any
value, I don't want to work on that.
