My point was rather that binNMUs need to be handled differently than normal ones since there is a) no patch to apply and b the maintainer has nothing to fix. Especially the normal "I did a NMU with the atttached patch" bug reports are useless. Tracking binNMUs in the BTS is not useful, the BTS is mainly for reaching the maintainer, having bug-reports like this does not work: * Dear maintainer, this package needs a binNMU for the libbar translation. We'll schedule one. Please do nothing. or * We just triggered a rebuild of package bar. No patch was applied. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
