Since the decorator is as much a part of the function definition as the def line is, I would say that it is correct (the name says "firstlineno", not "deflineno"). inspect.getsource() and friends actually rely on this behaviour, so changing it really isn't an option. However, that does mean *using* it as though it always points to the def line is incorrect, suggesting there are related bugs in trace and profile.
