Hi, Rene,

the upsteam-discussions are generally often not very helpful in my opinion, if 
you are

not a programmer, it is pretty much like somebody is posting a sentence of 
natural

language for every code-change made. 

It's not helpful, if you don't read the source-code.

They could instead write the comments directly into the code and distribute 
both together,

then things would be much easier for human readers.

Greetings

A.

No, it doesn't. You still didn't answer the question I asked
whether you have linked images and whether one of the linked
bugs apply to your case.

Tagging it upstream is fine, but no real help (but "telling the obvious".
It'd more helpful to know the upstream bug to track whether/when it's fixed
and to give them more information if needed.)

This one does not, I have just checked that, in a KVM-VM, see there:

Yeah, anyway, the problem exists in Stretch, it has nothing to do with
stable-dependencies vs. testing-dependencies:

Now this should really satisfy your needs for INFO, I will tag the report 
'UPSTREAM' now.

In this case, yes..

Other bugs can be only appearing on backports.

And no, it is not identical. If it was there was no need for a backport. It's a 
rebuild
(with changed dependencies and any adaptions needed) to work in stable.
(And it's from testing, not unstable.)

Yes, the testing version. Not *-backports. And that only on the next release.
-backports is not a staging ground for updates in "real" stable. It's separate.

No, there isn't a freeze yet in testing. That only starts in some time. If 
there was,
5.2.2 would not have migrated there in the first place and thus there wouldn't 
be a backport
of 5.2.2 anyways.

No, since you didn't answer any question here. E.g. the question in the cited

If I am getting things correctly, the backported version is identical with the 
one in
Stretch/testing, so the same bug would be there, it migrated there in fact from 
unstable
and if nobody complains or otherwise nobody feels responsible to react to the 
report, it
will inevitably migrate to stable.

Sorry, I am not using unstable, I never have in fact, I think the version in 
testing is
usually new enough, except, there is currently a freeze-phase on the 
testing-branch.

No. There's a reason backports bug get redirected to debian-backports as
the BTS is NOT for bpo bugs.  It does not help very much that you try to be
smart and CC submit@bugs

See https://backports.debian.org/FAQ/, point 1.

It does not even know the version and thinks it affects everything
(see 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=stable;package=libreoffice-draw)
(Yes, it says From other Branch bugs, but it appears open)

So between 5.1.5 and 5.2.2. Very helpful. Another reason why bug reporting
should be done on sid, so one knows what happens when, not only when the
thing is (supposedly) stable enough to get into backports.

Sorry, this is complete nonsense. Either it's "minor", then it's exactly that
and there's no need to revert. Or it's more. (BTW, stretch will contain
5.2.x in any way.)

Anyway: When looking in LOs Bugzilla I see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101563
(do you use linked images?)
and
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99303
(which isn't very useful.)

based on theupstream reports I set the version accordingly to a existing
version. (And tag it moreinfo.)

Package: libreoffice-draw
Version: 1:5.2.2~rc2-2~bpo8+1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

there appeared a new version of the LibreOffice suite from Backports today.
LibreOffice-Draw fails to compress multipage-PDFs, it just makes a copy of the 
original
document, regardless of the quality- and other settings.
I use this function quite frequently, so I can tell, the problem appeared 
_today_.
If there is nothing done about this, I will have to downgrade the software to 
the normal
stable version 4 again.
