Bug#768006: Thank you for this report
Hi Sean,
As a Debian developer, I wanted to take a moment to say -- thank you
for being the kind of person who would file such a high quality bug
report against Debian.
Specifically, here are some great things about your bug report:
* It relates to the systemd transition, which needs all the review it
can get before the next release, in order to help other users avoid
problems like these.
* It uses matter-of-fact tone and is very easy to read, in terms of
(1) lucidly laying out technical facts and (2) describing what could
easily be a very painful situation for you without laying personal
blame or making the reader feel blamed.
* It provides high-quality technical information about your situation,
including the (presumably manually created by you) text dump from the
journal and the package-specific info. The package-specific info
likely comes to us due to reportbug, but I know first-hand that
reportbug is not trivial to use, so the fact that you did so is a huge
help.
* It is filed against nfs-common, the package that (I agree) is most
likely to relate to the problem, rather than other packages that may
be related, such as systemd, which are likely to receive lots of
reports mistakenly assigned to it. Your awareness of the Debian system
and your care to file bugs where they can probably be most easily
acted-upon is an asset to the Debian project.
I'm not a maintainer of nfs-utils, but I wanted to express my
gratitude and say that reading bug reports like this makes me grateful
that I am part of a Debian community that includes people like you.
Sincerely,
Asheesh.
