Why should those bugs not first be filed in the emdebian bug tracker and
if appropriate filed in the Debian BTS too? This is what other, say,
Ubuntu do. At least for your
recompiled-with-other-options-and-random-bits-stripped-out variant, this
seems much more appropriate than assuming the bugs actually exists in
Debian in the first place.
