The problem is that the Debian kernel team is too small and too short
in free time to be able to handle upstream forwarding of bugs.
They mainly focus into packaging new version and backporting upstream
fix (and new drivers). Just doing that took a lot of time. So they
'require' user help when a new bug (not yet handled upstream) is
found.
