Hi Clint, this is a key point: the one who makes the patch should forward it upstream directly. This way it benefits everybody. For a large number of bug reports forwarded to Debian from Ubuntu, I wonder why one is asking me to forward Upstream, intead of doing it himself, especially in some race-conditions situations (new compilers, new linkers, etc.) where Upstreams would have adapted their software themselves if we had given them a bit more time.
