On the contrary, interaction with the Debian bug tracking system is
a task with which anyone maintaining packages within Debian must be
intimately familiar. This hurdle is an excellent (if sometimes
painful) introduction to one of the many important aspects of Debian
package maintenance. I suspect it will be far from the most complex,
frustrating or maddening part of the experience; but this mailing
list is full of wonderfully helpful people who comprise a great
resource when you exhaust available documentation on the subject!
