Bug#434706: closed by Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at> (Closing old and upstream bugs)

[Ryo Furue <furue@hawaii.edu>]

Dear Norbert,

Thank you for your message.  But, sorry it's not quite clear to me
what it means.

> the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns

What does "the respective package" mean here?

For example, if one finds a bug in program YYY or style file ZZZ
included in one of the TeX Live packages, one should report it to the
ultimate author of program YYY or style file ZZZ . . . is that what
you mean?

If so, the Debian bug tracking system of TeX Live accepts only bugs
related to the packaging per se and nothing else.  Is that correct?

I wish there were means to announce such a policy within the Debian
bug tracking system.

Regards,
Ryo
