A first draft of this is here to be torn assunder at your leisure:

http://developer.skolelinux.no/dokumentasjon/bugreports.html

Please criticise.

An amount of it is based on Ragnar's previous document (particularly the
part on what to include which is a copy & paste).  I wasn't too clear on
exactly how to explain which BTS is correct as there was some disagreement.
I'm also not clear how a non-expert easily tells which archive a piece of
software came from.  Is there some incantation to dpkg or apt which would
show this?

So the line:

	So how the **** do I tell where it came from?

is to be replaced with the answer in due course.

Thanks,
Gavin
