Very nice, berenger.morel. Thanks for the info.
I just sent a bug I've been working around for several months. Let's
see whether it actually got emailed to Debian.
The process, the questions it asked, and the automatic collection of my
computer's configuration made submitting the bug trivial. *Every*
project should have one of these. Thanks so much for telling me about
this.
