    In Debian, you would use reportbug. This is available on the Pi, and presumably has been tweaked to send the report to the right place. It
    isn't installed by default.

    Everywhere a package is modified should be in the bug loop i.e. the Pi maintainers first, then Debian, then the mysterious 'upstream'. Whoever
    fixes the bug, if the bug came from further up the chain, will report
    it and probably provide a patch. If the bug comes from further
    upstream and is fairly fundamental, it will be passed up the chain.


    The bug has been reported, thank you for letting me know about reportbug!
