Hmmm... I do not know what you mean with "overexaggerate". However, it
might be that that was organized together. But as it is at least broken
in some cases shows that not all cases are addressed.

That is definitely not true. I got a mail of one people who had the same
problem. However, I cannot find the mail anymore.

So, if some people see no problem, then it is rubbish for you? If so,
then please notice that some people take themself out of the gene pool
by jumping from a bridge and take your own consequences ...

I will if I am asked for nicely. But until now I have been only hostile
to.

My time is just limited. I fill good bug reports if I am able to do. If
not or if I think the problem is more general then I just fill all
informations I have as I did in that report.
If it is not enough, then just ask politely. With that hate and FUD I
read in the last mails I am not willing to help making debian better at
all.
Concerning other bugs I heared of people who have same problems but was
not willing anymore to write any word with some debian maintainers as
the was also scared of with FUD and hate mails.
I myself did some consequences and fixed some bugs myself without giving
back the patches to the debian community. I do not want to do that with
all bugs as I still think debian maintainer did a nice job. But with
such answers like in that bug report ...

Then ask for It and do not start hating mails to scare of bug reporters!
I will provide the Informations you asked here the next days. Please
give me some time to setup a test bed for it.

Ps. I do not want to come down to your slanderous level but this mail
has one sentence I couldn't resist. Sorry.
