Certainly not. We have rules to follow, but that's not bureaucracy. And one of the first rule is the maintainer is the one who decides for his package. It's a pity we have to keep all those upstream bugs in the Debian BTS when there's an upstream BTS. Each maintainer should be able to decide if he wants to keep the upstream forwarded bug. I'd like to be able to close those upstream bugs by sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] giving the reference of the bugs submitted to the upstream BTS. Because it regularly happens that the bug is ignored upstream and then the BTS gets bloated with upstream bugs, making it more difficult to manage the bugs that are really Debian related.
