This was brought up in the release team meeting on Friday too; it's very
frustrating for us to be receiving totally useless bugs that are essentially
noise in the GNOME bug tracking system. It slows down our progress, and
hinders our triaging efforts.
Please, *please*, *please* build these packages with full debugging, or
we're going to have to ignore any bug reports from Debian users until G2D
comes out, which would be a hideous waste of resources.
Thanks,
