Since a recent perl upgrade lintian prints several warnings:
Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at
/usr/share/lintian/collection/index line 192.

/usr/share/lintian/collection/index line 192.

They're a bit annoying because one needs to look out for warnings in lintian's
output. The warning about sockaddr_in6 has already been reported in #648938 but
I can't see any other reports about the qw warning yet.
