I forward manually upstream issue to upstream bug tracker. That process does 
not scale and is often late...

The BTS can handle both, but there's no automated process which sends
bugs upstream. So, if you can, file upstream bugs upstream. If not, in
theory someone will take care of filing them upstream for you.

What will happen to a bug report which is clearly an upstream issue and
tagged as such which is sent to the BTS?  Does the BTS deal only with
packaging issues now?

New version of lcdproc in experimental

2017-01-09 Thread Dominique Dumont
Hello

After a pause of 2 years, lcdproc [1] project is restarting. lcdproc is a LCD 
display driver useful for Pc based home cinema. It supports quite a lot of LCD 
displays.

Upstream has prepared a release candidate that is now available as a Debian 
package [2] on experimental [3].

Please test this new RC release if you have a LCD display on your system. 

Please report any upstream issue on upstream bug tracker [4]. Packaging issues 
can be reported with Debian BTS as usual.

All the best
