What?  No, that's not how it works.  As you can see at
<http://bugs.debian.org/620848>, the bug's marked as found in
v2.6.38-3; if you can reproduce it in a newer version, that's useful
information to provide, of course, but does not warrant a new bug
report.

While it would be nice to try 2.6.39-rc7 from experimental, more
useful would be to gently ping the linux-usb list and Alan Stern with
a reminder of the nature of the problem and indicating you are ready
to try out more patches or provide other information, since the first
attempt didn't work.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
