...and even if you should happen to experience some of the non-general bug treatment (Some Debian developers are more "aggressive", expecting you to have "done your homework" and not create vague bugreports) then don't take it personally. The important point is that filing a bugreport, also a confused, vague or even wrong one, is an offer to help, and those not recognizing and acknowledging it as such have failed, not you. I recommend using the terminal-based bugreporting tool "bugreport" which is found in the Debian package by the same name. It guides you through the process and helps including additional data about your package and system, valuable for us developers when investigating the bug further. :-) - Jonas Debian developer for some years - -- IT-guide dr.
