 Given the fact that you provided the (wrongly numbered package) in the
 first place and are the one to do the packaging (I suppose?), why not
 prepare and up-to-date test-package. Or check for yourself in the
 "upstream" repository if one of the files mentioned in the reports have
 changes since the version packaged.

 Cool. We release 2.0.0 and create a branch for 2.0.X and label our trunk
 as 2.1.999. But we are to blame when distributions ship 2.0.1 created from
 trunk while we really ship 2.0.1 from 2.0-branch where its supposed to be
 created from.

 I was confused some days ago when someone said that his dice-based device
 was working with 2.0.1. Now I know why. Thanks for misleading our users
 and getting us in trouble. Its not like we don't have anything else to
 do...


 And no, I don't want to subscribe to fedoras bugtracker. Your bugtracker
 is for faults in your packages, our bugtracker is for faults in our
 software.

 Which means: Yes, please tell your users to report bugs (that are not a
 result of your shipping) at our bug tracker. And if you don't tell them to
 read the README beforehand, we will. Because we really need the
 information asked there...
