No, not really. I have prepared packages in our SVN repo [1], but I 
think it's unreasonable to upload just another library package to 
Debian for the sole purpose of fixing a warning in another library.

I'd favour actually fixing it, though. Simply removing a warning is 
not a method I would consider valid to get rid of it.

Well, at the moment I am the only (active) maintainer for a52dec in 
Debian, but my interest in the package could be more vivid, I admit. 
I'd highly appreciate if you could help out a bit and bring the 
package to the newest packaging standards.

That sounds perfect, because the packaging is actually tracked in our 
GIT repository at [2] now. To work on the package I highly recommend 
you to apply as a member of the pkg-multimedia team on Alioth.
