What about adding the hint to that message that this an "ambiguity warning"?

     sort: ambiguity warning: numbers use ‘.’ as a decimal point in this locale

(Likewise for the other cases, of course.)

Most other --debug messages usually state how sort processes the options / the
input, while this one tells why the processing potentially does not work as the
user expected.

+1 otherwise.

Yes it may be useful to tag messages as "informational" or "problematic".
I've mentioned this also in a reply to Paul.

thanks for the review,
Pádraig
