Tremendously. I now have reportbug configured and waiting to be used, and it seems great at handholding which is what I told it that I wanted. So I can almost guarantee that I will now have no problems at all between now and when Lenny is released! I had obviously not asked the right questions, because I had never heard of reportbug before. Now if I still can't get my scanner working.... It has worked before in Linux and I have the right packages (so far as I can tell, but I had better ask on this list before I submit a bug report)....
