Yes. > If so, the Debian bug tracking system of TeX Live accepts only bugs > related to the packaging per se and nothing else. Is that correct? In principle, yes. We are not a help desk for LaTeX and we cannot track or care for bugs in tens of tousands of files. > I wish there were means to announce such a policy within the Debian > bug tracking system. The point is that the bugs do not relate to Debian packaging, nor upstream=TeX Live, since TeX Live is also only an aggregation of packages. In a normal Debian package, if a bug is reported, I can forward it upstream, and upstream will care, or forget about it. When I forward a bug upstream to TeX Live, the answer will be: Please report it to the original author. And yes, this is not what *I* as maintainer of TeX Live will do.
