If you're running a Debian system (and you should, since you want to
work with it), you can just type 'man reportbug' to see how it works (it
should be installed by default).
Also take a look at http://bugs.debian.org to acquaint yourself with the
Bug Tracking System (BTS).

I didn't mean to say that your work is of no importance. Every help
counts! And you can only say you "failed" if you really give up on a two
hour period.

Again: you probably got your feeling wrong.
Take a look at http://lists.debian.org, check the lists archives for
debian-mentors and see how new people usually get involved. 2 hours is a
very short period to base your expectations on.

I understand, that's why we pointed you to some documentation that has
been done specifically to help beginners.

That doesn't sound very optimistic.
But even if you do "fail" (by your standards) there's no need to send me
the packages. I can get them from the original website.
Cheers and good luck
