Hi Clint,
this is a key point: the one who makes the patch should forward it upstream
directly. This way it benefits everybody.
For a large number of bug reports forwarded to Debian from Ubuntu, I wonder why
one is asking me to forward Upstream, intead of doing it himself, especially in
some race-conditions situations (new compilers, new linkers, etc.) where
Upstreams would have adapted their software themselves if we had given them a
bit more time.
Cheers,
