It's very annoying to pull my mail and get several bug reports that were reassigned to debhelper (one of them falsely grave), with no explanation cced to me. Not only is something like this very easy to skip over, but it forces me to wait until the next time I am online (in this case, two days) to get at the BTS and find out why someone thinks debhelpr has a bug. > reassign 204169 debhelper Bug#204169: docbook-utils: Build from source on reiserfs gives dangling symlinks Warning: Unknown package 'debhemper' Bug reassigned from package `debhemper' to `debhelper'. Please, as a courtesy, when you reassign a bug report to another package, cc it to the package maintainer, and put enough information in so they can know why their package is at fault. Also check the severity to make sure it makes sense for the new package. In fact, this is good practice whenever you're doing anything with the BTS control@ that impacts another developer's bug reports. -- see shy jo
