Several Debian teams for popular packages don't have the time to triage the volume of incoming bug reports. They use various strategies to redirect those reports to the relevant upstream projects, including reportbug notices, closing bugs so reporters triage them and other things. This has been the norm for a while, probably at least half a decade. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
