Freeness of packages

Hi all.
(I'm sort of emailing with my gNewSense -> upstream relations hat on).

I asked earlier in the week on ubuntu-bugs about the prefered way of
filing a bug relating to the freeness of a package.
As part of that conversation i brought up bug 201680 [1], a bug
uncovered in gNewSense but marked invalid by an Ubuntu bug triager.

I'm wondering two things:
What is the best way to report issues "upstream" (eg Ubuntu) - one bug
per affected package? This is the impression i got on IRC at the time.

Second is, Where do we go when we disagree with a desision? I dont
belive the bug in question was closed correctly, and I'm not sure how to
get it re-opened (if this is posable).

These have become especially relevent with the release of DeltaH/Hardy,
as we have spent a lot of time looking through the kernel and associated
modules for non-free files. We will probably soon be looking through the
archive for non-free/misplaced packages, and it would be good to know
these points in advance.

Thanks,
kk
