We get plenty of these. What would be better appreciated is work done.
If it is not within your interest to help make Debian better, critiques

Perhaps you should reexamine your post and figure out how you might have
elicited that type of response.

Debian's BTS, should you decide to grace us with your patronage in the
future. We'll be waiting with baited breath.
