Personally I'd rather have valid bugs kept open on the BTS, if not just for coordination with other affected people. I'm fine waiting, even years. What's important to me is that I can just check in a single place (the Debian BTS) for known reported things in Debian. If then you happen to have the time (or someone else does, like Mika did here), then the bug can be forwarded, marked as such, and dealt with either in Debian or upstream, etc. People affected or wanting or able to help can even provide patches, etc. The problem with closing valid bug reports is that then they become invisible. :( Thanks, Guillem
