I think your request will be difficult to meet, precisely due to the strict |
| 10 |
policy against -Werror which means that it is already long gone from most |
| 11 |
packages which originally had it. |

From x11 packages (they used to be one of the major remaining -Werror |
| 14 |
packages, cf. bug #416069) I recall a few cases where broken stuff on user |
| 15 |
systems triggered -Werror build failures. But this was mostly people who |
| 16 |
installed something to /usr/local and forgot about it. |
