Thankfully there's $package@packages.debian.org so that no lookup is necessary. The doc says: Records that bug #bugnumber is a bug in package. This can be used to set the package if the user forgot the pseudo-header, or to change an earlier assignment. No notifications are sent to anyone (other than the usual information in the processing transcript). > If debootstrap tries to umount a symlink that points to outside the > chroot, I’d call it an issue with debootstrap, independent of… > > >wishlist in debootstrap to support the new thing pbuilder imposes, and > >an RC bug in pbuilder not to depend on a debootstrap version > >implementing said improved behaviour. > > … this one. Certainly not an RC one. Faulty setups can lead to suboptimal behaviours. That's one such case. Lowering severity accordingly (even if as I said, important is probably too high on the debootstrap side). > Yes, the maintainers of debootstrap (and possibly cdebootstrap), > pbuilder and cowbuilder should probably talk to each other. > Ideally.

Please get your random rants elsewhere, preferably around /dev/null. KiBi.
