Then I'm having trouble parsing what you are saying, too. Like
Thomas, the only sense I can make of your description is that
you are are describing an algorithm that goes roughly like
0 Bug is discovered
1 Patch is produced
2 IF bug is known in the Debian BTS
3 THEN mail patch to the Debian maintainer/BTS
4 ELSE publish the patch somewere, which will let the Debian
maintainer "pull" it iff he chances to find out that
somebody downstream from him has published a patch
somewhere.
Why is line 4 not "ELSE file a new bug report with the patch in the
Debian BTS"?
