A common way is to subscribe the debian-boot lists and do a detailed
installation report (what you need is described below). Or you can
report a bug with a "normal" severity to the Bug Tracking System. For
doing this, install "reportbug" or "bug" and use the programs.  If you
cannot, you may report a bug with your mail program.  Put a title in the
subject (like "Problem on creating reiserfs on /dev/sda"), and in the
Body insert the lines attached below. And use a _valid_ reply-to
address.

You install as usuall, until the problem appears. Then you get a fresh
formated floppy, insert in the drive and choose "Report a bug" from
dbootstrap's menu. When done, boot in your usuall system and mount this
floppy. 

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.10
Severity: normal

<your description with as much info as possible>

Nein, eine Milchflatrate gibt es nicht, wirklich nicht. Milch kostet DM
1,09 pro Liter, wobei angebrochene Liter voll berechnet werden, darum
heißt es ja auch *Voll*milch.
