The rank of the webpage will be decreased compared to others pages
mobile-compliant. However, if someone searches the word 'debian' in
google search engine, debian.org is still the first one. I think there
is no risk for that in the future. However others pages (like the
wiki) there are more risk to be less visible.

However, without considering the Google rating, I think it would be
good to evaluate the visits ratio from small screen (phone and small
tablet) and desktop to have an idea of it's important.
At least, I think it will be necessary to do the improvements in the future.

In order to fix the warnings from Google, we mainly need to update the
CSS. A lot of them seems to be easy to fix.

The install manual of Jessie take care of this problem so this warning
will disappear when jessie will be the new stable. :-)
