I'm I agree, of course. But it has been discussed, that an debian developer, finding an upstream bug should report it directly upstream without bothering the developer responsible for the package. My point was (or should have been) that a debian developer should IMHO report the bug to the debian-package too, exactly like a mere user would. It helps a mere user when he finds a bug in the bugtracking-system and the bug is both a debian-bug as a upstream-bug. (And bugs existing upstream should not be closed in debian). -- CU, Patrick.
