Thilo,

Few, if any, of the reportbug bugs get through to the mailing list as
they are caught by the spam filter. Currently they are being sent to
Carthik Sharma. However, feel free to deal with any that actually get
through.

Please, can we have this problem solved for edgy? Might be nice to
actually have it backported to a dapper point release as well.

Cheers,

Corey
