Indeed. But those are not simply "packages in Debian" - a newer version
requires a rebuild, which was my next cases:

So I believe your story, Finn-Arne, is simply a supporting example of
why the Debian BTS should be used only when the Debian package
maintainer agrees with this :-)

My intention was to keep the complexity low, while still aim as many
bugreports at Debian as all parties can agree on.
A more complex situation would indeed include your point above, Petter,
but also that of obnoxious Debian maintainers as Finn-Arne have
experienced.
There is currently a discussion and a poll within Debian related to
this. I suggest we stick to my earlier BTS rules until Debian have
found more consensus on the matter.
