Well this warning is justified I think because this is a profile/package
inconsistency where the administrator schould have a look at. Just a debug
message is not enough I would say. It could even be treated as an error but I
usually print errors only in case of something goes seriously wrong. And in case
of an inconsistency WPKG can still operate (it cannot do updates/downgrades but
it knows the package should still be assigned to the host even if the package is
not found currently at server-side).

In case you remove it from the profile, then this is a "normal" operation for
WPKG and the databases seem to be consistent.

Regarding the fact of profile inconsistency I prefer to send at least a
warning-level notification to the administrator.
