If you want to take this breathless view of bug-fixing, perhaps you

And since when were people hailed into court for misconfiguring
their software, particularly when it reminds you all the time of:
"The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
"Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
permitted by applicable law."
