Well, it's not exactly a secret that as far as it goes for academic/scientific
software, code quality is often not vast and authors tend not to keep up with
toolchain developments (I just updated siril today...).

That said, this is solemnly packager's responsibility. If he's able to cope
with the issues (and it seems to me he is) and the package serves its purpose
(would it be submitted for the review if it didn't?) it's good to go.

Thanks for sharing your attitude, but this would be just you making up
guidelines. I'm positive that if someone challenged your decision given the
relevance of your reasoning it would be overturned.
