See the bugs I have filed against mondo regarding this, and notice that they are a few months old without any reply by the package maintainer. Greetings Marc
One little quibble/question about this: should issues like this be reported to the Debian maintainer, or just reported to whoever created the software in the first place?
If installing a package breaks some Debian dependancies, or otherwise blows up on Debian, go ahead and complain to the maintainer.
If a package's functionality has issues, shouldn't you bring it up to whoever works on the upstream program itself? They're the ones who have to fix it, since they're the ones who wrote it.
Granted, the developer can forward the bug to upstream, but it seems to me that it would be easier to just notify the upstream right away, and not bug you guys with something you can't control.
