I agree, that's one of our "areas for improvement".

I've had great success using Log4perl before. It lets you configure
how much of any particular type of these warnings and error messages
and debug information you get at any time. Maybe somewhere down the
road I'll see if I can plug it into C4::Debug somehow and try to tame
these messages.
