Indeed. I *want* the users of my packages to report bugs (especially the
very serious ones) to _me_, so that I can forward it upstream AND deal with
it with the expedity I see fit (which is usually very much faster than what
upstream will do).
Not to mention there is brokeness upstream just won't fix, but we do not
want to ship and end up fixing ourselves...
