The bug tracker is a tool for me; not everything needs to go via bug tracking. If I grab an upstream change from their VCS, I wont open a Debian bug about it; if I find a bug in the Debian version which also applies to upstream, I might skip to directly reporting it upstream, and only there. A change is a change, not a bug; we don't need to map each change to a bug. We could get better at distinguishing between changes, and perhaps we can reach a point where we can extract a list of logical changes (or changesets) between Debian uploads, or between the Debian and upstream versions, but I don't think we want bugs for that. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
