Hi, 

I just looked at some TeXLive bugs in Debian. I would have sent a patch
for #600375, but I wasn't able to find out where the control file is
managed.

1) Please document which VCS you are using (yes, I know it's SVN -
that's not at all obvious from the PTS, though). And please add
vcs-* fields to your control files, because even though I know the VCS,
I failed to find out where the control file for texlive-pictures lives.

2) If you fix a bug, please mark it as pending - #492932 was fixed three
years ago, but there's no sign of that in the bug report.
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-tex?view=revision&revision=3770
I'm quite sure there exist some hooks for SVN to manage this
automatically from debian/changelog entries.

3) If you don't consider something to be a bug, please close it right
away. There's no point in accumulating bugs just for the sake of it
(#600339 is an example of such a bug). 

Number 3) is my personal opinion, but I think that 1) and 2) are
universally true.

Thanks
	Thomas
