If you have a general (as in, no specific implementable proposal) issue
with Debian package management, a bug report is inappropriate. You need
to have a discussion first to figure out what the problem even is.

Write a post on your weblog, get a discussion going about your ideas for
how Debian package management can be improved, and be prepared to defend
and refine your ideas.
Eventually you'll know enough to either discard the complaint, or come
up with a *specific* implementable proposal to improve Debian.
