Bug#539176: Please special-case the kernel so that all bug reports are filed against the source package
Package: reportbug
Version: 4.5
Severity: wishlist
The linux-2.6 source package is a bit special in comparison to other packages
because the names of the binary packages change frequently (every 2-3 months with
the release of a new kernel version). Currently, most bugs are reassigned
manually to the linux-2.6 source package. It would be nice if all bugs filed
against the kernel in reportbug were always directed towards the linux-2.6
source package.
Cheers,
Moritz
