You should use the BTS to report any problems you find in a Debian package, including problems in the debian directory. Note: A spelling error in a past changelog entry is probably not worth reporting and fixing unless it causes some important information to be lost. Report such errors only if you think it's a good use of your time and the maintainer's. Errors in the package description or the actual maintainer scripts are more likely to be considered "bugs."
