want them to do so because of our policy. In my case, I tried many times

Then if the user reports a bug we need to understand it and try to fix
it. Maybe adding debian-user to the list of users monitoring bugs
against "general" pseudo package could also help in this case.

Because you think people will not be frustrated if they experience a bug and
that we prevent them to raise bugs? Hiding reality is always bad?. Look at the
original reporter last message. He seems quite disappointed by the project

I'm quite disappointed that instead of trying to fix the bug you are just trying
to discuss how to make user life more complicated.
What is the difference between Debian and any commercial SW? Just that it
becomes less user friendly with less support despite it is cost free.
