Please think before you send bugs to Debian

[Scott Kitterman]

Recently I was informed by a DD that I often work with about an odd bug that 
one of my fellow MOTUs had filed.  Apparently this person had thought it 
would be good to suggest the Debian Maintainer incorporate the Ubuntu 
specific changes in his package.

While this is generally good, in this case the change was to remove the 
iceweasel symlinks from the package.  

This would, of course, have made the package quite broken in Debian.  

Please think before you send bugs to Debian.  It's great for inter-distro 
relations when we can send them good fixes that make life easier for Debian.  
Stuff like this doesn't help and all and reinforces negative stereotypes that 
are all to common in Debian.

P.S. Imagine how much fun we're going to have with this kind of thing once 
Launchpad implements one click bug forwarding to Debian.
