Hmmm ok - that are numerous other bugs then, and I think they should be
filed separately. I would do that for you, but I think it's easier for
the different developers if they have *your* setup and machine info in
the bug reports.
So I suggest closing this one with sending mail to
360074-done@bugs.debian.org, and open new ones for the issues you
describe above.
