Bug#391299: submit@bugs.debian.org should accept reports re. packages that are not part of Debian



Package: debbugs
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: wishlist

It would be great if debbugs could accept bug reports for packages
that are not part of Debian because we cannot legally redistribute
them (e.g. oracle-xe or skype). I could forward oracle-xe bugs to
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/ and perhaps somebody else could take
care of forwarding skype bugs upstream and CC'ing replies from
upstream back to the BTS.

This way there would be an easy way of getting support for software
that's not in Debian - just email submit@bugs.debian.org. Providing
such an ability would be a useful free service to Debian users
everywhere.

Does this sound like a good idea?

Regards,
Jason Spiro
