Please cool down, if you compare with #268503, this one includes a patch whereas the original did not, so it is not a duplicate but an improvement. It seems this bug submitter has made much more effort toward quality bug reports than the previous attempt at fixing typos so I see no point flaming him. I dream to receive patch in bug reports. Sending 63 patches do not really qualify as massive bug filling. Compare that with the massive bug filling entitled "The package description does not follow Debian policy" filled with severity important... > Please go over all your submitted bugs, and close the duplicate ones > yourself, and while at it, you could apologize to the maintainers for > causing them extra work for nothing.
