This is not about being in a hurry, but about the ideal of Debian 
packages to fully work out of the box.

A bugreport against the Debian package helps track the issue for the 
Debian community at large (not only the package maintainers).  Such 
bugreport would be the better place than here to discuss the issue!

Because a bugreport against the Debian package helps track the issue for 
the Debian community at large (not only the package maintainers).  Such 
bugreport would be the better place than here to discuss the issue!

Small bugs are also bugs.  Even wishes for new features are "bugs" and 
makes sense to file.
