  I'm well aware of that.  However, the warnig will only be printed
for packages supporting an option.  I agree that the handling is
sub-optimal, but I think fixing it is not worth the effort.

  If a legacy option warnig is printed for an option not supported by
a package (if that is what you imply -- according to my test that is
not the case), then that is a bug that should be fixed.
