For now I only see these in Ubuntu, but would be surprised if they don't show up
in unstable as well. Packages like

http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/d/dijitso/focal/amd64

fail the test with

========================== 10 passed in 0.27 seconds
===========================
autopkgtest [13:18:10]: test test-dijitso: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [13:18:10]: test test-dijitso:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - -

test-dijitso         FAIL stderr:

autopkgtest [13:18:10]: test test-dijitso:  - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[31212,1],0]: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging module
was unable to find any relevant network interfaces:

Module: OpenFabrics (openib)
  Host: autopkgtest

Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.

NOTE: You can disable this warning by setting the MCA parameter
btl_base_warn_component_unused to 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
autopkgtest [13:18:10]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary
test-dijitso         FAIL stderr:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit request sent.

Of course you can allow stderr output in all these packages, but maybe this
warning can be avoided.

boost1.67 is another one failing this way.
