Exactly. I don't file bugs, because in my experience enough bugs do
get filed, and I'm more interested in propogating the distribution
without losing my soul to it. I do a very cursory job - I describe
fails rather than investigating them, usually, and hope that someone
else will fix them. Usually, someone does :)

Well, volunteers out on debian-powerpc have been doing this lately, and
it seems to work out well.
