Ok. These aren't quite the smoking gun I was looking for, but they're
certainly problematic interactions. After bothering to go through
everything else, I find some continuing antagonizing interactions,
coupled with some useful reports. I'm going to restrict the user from
interacting with the BTS, but I may remove that restriction after
further discussion with the user.

As a side note, it seems to me that a large number of the issues with
conflict between maintainers and users are reported to me come the
linux-2.6 package.

Exchanges like this[1]:

    And yet ext4 works fine for other people.

aren't terribly productive. It's much easier for me to deal with
problematic BTS interactions when I don't get the impression that both
sides are contributing to the problem.
