"Actually fixing" would probably be filing bugs on packages
which are broken, uploading NMUs if they don't get fixed after
half-a-year.
On the way to "fixing" the problem, you will probably get 10 thanks
mails, and 1000 hate mails, and about 40 instant xxxx-close messages,
and 20 messages cc'd to control@b.d.o with a line starting with
"severity xxxx wishlist tags xxx + wontfix unreproducible"
and approx. 2 mails from ftp admins saying "we know of this problem,
we will fix it".
If that doesn't frighten you, please fix the problems!
regards,
junichi
