I don't plan to tell you how to manage your package maintenance: do as you wish. However, I think we add things by having this in the BTS: speaking as a Debian user, I like Debian the organization to be aware of bugs in its distributed packages that affect me, whether or not those bugs are upstream bugs or packaging bugs -- I don't see what is gained by closing this bug report, as the problem I have encountered still exists. (As far as I'm concerned, the BTS is a way of managing continuity of maintenance -- if for whatever reason you disappeared tomorrow, your successor would know about this problem too) > | Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. > > No, we need to engage R Core to pick it up there.

I would be happy to see "R Core" pick this up, of course. How can we arrange that?
