Matt Zimmerman [2008-08-14 15:19 +0100]: > What is the clutter? Two reasons for me, mainly: First, a lot of failures are unreproducible and probably due to some sort of local failure (third party packages installed, nvidia upstream installer messing up the system, full disk, automatix, etc.), and second, in a lot of cases the actual bug is in a completely different package, for example, because a program called in the postinst fails.
I'm in favor of keeping them, particularly because package installation failures are such a pain foor users. But we should invest some resources in - automatic duplicate detection (nontrivial, since the reason is hidden in the terminal log, etc.) - detecting local breakage/customization (UnreportableReason) I'm happy to work on that for intrepid+1 if there is a strong enough desire and time allocation.
