That's only thanks to a couple of people who patiently devoted their time to 
clean up the Debian BTS. If your "suggestion" was implemented, bug count would 
be going up without anything upstream-related getting fixed. We rarely do 
anything about non-RC upstream issues.

Debian KDE team policy is to suggest users report KDE upstream bugs (non-
packaging bugs) to https://bugs.kde.org/ . We are thankful that there is 
DrKonqi which does that.

Users are free to report upstream bugs to Debian BTS but they typically go 
unanswered. So what's better?
