Bad.

I would suggest posting it on the texhax mailing list and maybe in
addition on the TeX Live mailing list (although that is for development
of TeX Live) and hope that someone has found a way to fix this problem.

First of all, please mind your words what you are talking about, there
are several layers here:
- upstream author of the package (here sometimes referred to as upupstream)
- the TeX Live team which develops TeX Live
- the Debian TeX Team packaging TeX Live and other TeX related things for
Debian
It so happens that I am doing most work on the Debian Team and at the
same time one of the core developers of TeX Live team itself.
But we (and here I mean *both* the TeX Live Team as well as the Debian
TeX Team) do NOT intend to fix bugs in packages by ourselves, that is
far over our time and capabilities (ever checked how many files there
are in TeX Live, and how many packages?).
Anyway, thanks for contacting upupstream.
Best wishes
Norbert

OBWESTRY (abs.n.)
Bloody-minded determination on part of a storyteller to continue a
story which both the teller and the listeners know has become
desperately tedious.
