in recent years the debian packagers have focused on licensing, setting aside as much therefore important that the package works ..
I've noticed that some reports have response as "is not critical, is still working," or else "not reproducible", or better "u can made a patch u can made a fix u ca... u can.. u do that" co DD/DM has no time!!!!!!
