Yes, but the google cases all were related something worse. But in my
case all it is is just a worrisome message printed once, at boot, making
me feel like I did something wrong, or else it would say "but that's
OK". Or there would be a way to make it go away without having to
install my own kernel instead of Debian stock kernels.
