I'm not discouraging but reports. I ask people to file relevant bugs upstream because that's where they belong. If they file it in Debian too, that's even better (and bonus points for filing them with the according “forwarded-to”). But upstream is where the (upstream) bugs will be fixed, not here, so it's faster to file issues upstream than to wait for me to do it. > Since you are confident > that it's an upstream issue, it is to your advantage to have it recorded > in the BTS and marked as forwarded upstream, as that should prevent the > next person to find it from bothering you, and you never know, it might > even get fixed. And you know what, that's exactly what I do. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
