Sorry if this has been brought up already. Another option would be to change the mapping of package:general from debian-devel@ldo to debian-user@ldo. I guess this has a similar effect (getting help in triaging the problem) without the unpleasant side effect of an auto-responder or a message+exit in reportbug. Anyway, I'd be very happy to see a change here; the "general" bugs on -devel lead to nothing except frustration on all sides in my experience. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
