Actually as a maintainer exactly that should be your job.

This is a showstopper bug that keeps woody's Euro support from just working
out of the box. And while the work-around is easy, you first have to figure
it out.

I filed bug #122533 on konsole (I didn't at first realize that all of KDE
was broken) on Wed, 05 Dec 2001. That was soon enough before the freeze (and
some version of glibc had the workaround incorporated in IIRC January) and
before the Euro was introduced.

There is no "we". I'm not part of Debian, and as long as the Debian project
violates my copyright, this won't change. The bug report is just from times
I did care about Debian. Which is why I'm going to stop arguing about it. Do
with it what you consider right.
