Hey Christian,
this guy is doing you a *favor*, and you are being rude to him.
If the bug is upstream, then it should be easy for you to know
if you have corrected it when you packaged the stuff. Then you
can close the bug with explanation: corrected in patch xx, which
was forwarded upstream 2000-mm-dd. Otherwise it is plausible that
the bug exists in Debian package and you have to react to it
somehow.
What is the alternative? You are encouraging people to give you
less info in the hope that then you will read the report. The
quality of bug reports is usually low enough so that one has to
be grateful when one receives a report that seems to clearly
describe how to reproduce it.
I don't think your response reasonable, especially since it would
have been so easy for you to check for the presence of the bug in
Debian.
