I don't want to start a long thread, but just to ask a couple questions

packaging bugs? IOW, if there is a problem in the package that is _broken
code_ do they need to do something about it or is it acceptable for them
to close the bug and say talk to upstream?
It's the reporter's job to report the bug upstream when asked to do so.
I disagree. Reporters are "users" - "customers" if you like to.
Consumers. Consumers of a product.
No. I used the word "customers" on purpose.
I consider users (esp. bug reporters) not to be "the dumb pigs eating
the hog wash they get for free", or "clueless comsumer masses" aborbing
anything they don't pay for with money, but them to be the foundation of
your work and them to be valuable business partners, paying in
immaterial payment (e.g. feedback, such as bug reports).
