What did you run to get them?
I was building or testing a package using sbuild or autopkgtest using lxc, I don't remember which. One of the dependencies was dot2tex, so it was being installed on a clean chroot (or equivalent). The warnings appeared during the dpkg installation of the package (probably during the configure step). But either way, all of these are, indeed, syntax errors and need to be corrected. (It turns out, just looking at the first example on line 1236, that they cannot all be fixed by turning them into raw strings: this string has both '\p', which should be '\\p' (with a literal backslash), and '\n', which presumably is intended as a new line character. Best wishes, Julian
