I don't think that it is a particularly good idea to enable any
warning options by default in a package unless the warnings are likely
to indicate that the code the developer should have already perfected
is somehow faulty (e.g. unexpected interface definition or missing
prototype) on the system it is being built on.
Usually only the developers of a package are interested in seeing and
fixing warnings. Warnings are only a cause for concern (usually undue
concern) for others.
There are many people who build packages from source code besides the
package developers.
