Well, sometimes this happens: that all bugs get put in one bug report.
This usually happens when a program refuses to start at all.
Somebody has some patch (that doesn't reach the repositories), so some
people continue and then they go try to fix the next thing.
I agree, the idea would be that:
a) a non launching package never reaches the repository
b) a patch to fix _launching_ gets put in the repo's immidiately (it can't
create any regression .. for anybody)
c) the bug is closed
d) new bugs get posted on launchpad
e) the bugs are linked to upstream bug tracker
But what is going on here is:
a) a completely not launching package reaches repositories
b) patches are ignored
c) the bug remains open
d) those who apply the patch manually add all bugs to the already open bug
report
e) the bugs are not linked upstream
f) everybody gives up, and downloads azureus from upstream, which _just_
works. (its been packaged as a non-working version some time since dapper, all
the time with upstream's version just working)
What would be the reason it fails so miserably?
a) there are too few motu's
b) they have too many packages to track
c) they don't care about pirating kids
d) the rules about applying patches to the universe are too strict
e) the rules about getting packages into the universe are too loose or badly
enforced
f) we don't tell the MOTU's that we love them enough (?)
PS. There are much better alternatives for azureus at the moment: Deluge 0.5,
Transmission, K-Torrent. You should get deluge and transmission from
http://getdeb.net (the versions in the repo's are very broken .. but not for
the same reasons azureus is broken though: in this case the older upstream
versions are just broken)
