The warning tells you that you have an old or stale version of either
SLIME or SWANK. Something is wrong, so you should try to fix it. Check
slime-protocol-version in Emacs and swank::*swank-wire-protocol-version*
in Common Lisp. In Debian, the version strings are extracted from
/usr/share/doc/cl-swank/changelog.
