Hmm. I wondered why kevin was saying this, since he is generally
clued in, and knows policy is to be followed. The distinction is that
Debian technical policy, the entity Chris is referring to (I presume),
does not govern people. It governs technical aspects of packaging
Debian software, so it has no jurisdiction in how reports are responded
to.
Sorry if my previous mail was confusing.
