And the latest piping hot stuff out there is Kubuntu Intrepid/8.10 which is in alpha4 or alpha5 if am not wrong and hence can be expected to have bugs, which indeed needs to be reported and fixed. > >> What is an upstream or downstream problem?

Unless you are dealing with something got directly from the upstream project sources, you need not go to the upstream bug tracker. If your problem indeed is something from the upstream code, then the downstream will make sure that the same gets reported in the upstream bug tracker as well.
