That it's filed against an existing package, something the BTS actually knows about? To avoid confusion when people misfile bugs about a source package, it seems that the BTS invents a fake package binary package for any source package package. That's why http://bugs.debian.org/src:linux-2.6 lists kernel bugs filed against the linux-2.6 binary package, too, even though there is no actual linux-2.6 binary package in Debian. So if that's the reason behind this proposal, I'm tempted to just close it. The change would involve taking a risk with no upside to balance it. There wouldn't have to be a huge upside to balance a small risk, but there has to be something. I could easily be missing something. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

To avoid confusion when people misfile bugs about a source package, it seems that the BTS invents a fake package binary package for any source package package. From where do you get that that is actually supported? Are you sure it's not just a bug somewhere in the BTS that it seems to work? Maybe you should talk to Don about this? That's why http://bugs.debian.org/src:linux-2.6 lists kernel bugs filed against the linux-2.6 binary package, too, even though there is no actual linux-2.6 binary package in Debian. So if that's the reason behind this proposal, I'm tempted to just close it. The change would involve taking a risk with no upside to balance it. What risk? Would it be more clear that reportbug sends: Source: linux-2.6 instead of: Package: src:linux-2.6 (I don't know if it supports it, the BTS does for ages.)

Package: src:linux-2.6 Hi, Can you please chang the bug control file to use: Submit-As: src:linux-2.6 instead of the current: Submit-As: linux-2.6 That way the BTS will properly know this is a bug against a source package and not a binary package.
