It is unlikely that this kind of bug would impact just one single laptop. It is more likely to impact a broader class, at the least "IvyBridge Macbook", but possibly more broadly just "IvyBridge laptop" or perhaps "SNB/IVB/HSW laptop". Without testing and/or understanding of the cause of the bug, I don't see how you can draw the conclusion that the bug only occurs on a single laptop. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
