From my point of view (and assuming he hasn't the knowledge as a user), |
| 9 |
the best he can do is to ask what's going on upstream when filing a bug. |
| 10 |
For instance he should ask for the version of the upstream package that |
| 11 |
include the fix. |

But in some (most ?) case, it wouldn't be appropriate as it could only |
| 14 |
be an Ubuntu issue. |
