Dear Maintainer,


I'm working on a large document (1400 pages) and trying to keep it
clean of warnings.  It was clean under buster (oldstable).
But under bullseye (stable) `xelatex` is issuing warnings.

The warnings come from the `index.sty` package.

I've attached a minimal example that triggers the warning using just a
standard `\documentclass` and `\usepackage`.  I expect to be able to
run this example without any warnings.

It's not clear to me whether this is a packaging issue (new
`index.sty` already exists upstream and just needs to be packaged) or
an upstream issue (most recent `index.sty` is at fault).

I have learned that this issue was fixed upstream, but not until
TeXLive 2021.  The fix can be found at

https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/pull/518/commits/ab0cb06c45dd7beca0569a1b4004e5a1d5de0a70

Thanks for investigation, we'll try to upload TL 2021 soon.

Hi Norman,
Are you sure this is the correct commit to address your issue? Even w/
TL 2022 the issue is still visible. According to [1] the usage of index
is rather deprecated. I'm afraid we have to close the bug (or mark it as
wontfix), as it will never be solved.

Hi,
