Because he doesn't know if he's the first, or the 50,000th, to
receive the strange error message, he emails debian-devel so that, if
it's a common and known problem, it can be answered by someone else,
whilst you will answer it if not.
Roughly speaking, that's (one of the things) mailing lists are for,
isn't it?
At least, that's why I might have emailed here in his place.
