warnings while compiling gtags.el

[Wayne Scott]

Binary package hint: global

When installing the package 'global' on a natty machine the following output was generated:

    Setting up global (5.7.1-2) ...

I don't know enough emacs lisp to know if these indicate a real problem, but the errors are scary looking
to users and should be cleaned up.

Thanks, this will be fixed when 5.9.3 is in the archive, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947
