If you have suggestions for new wording for
/usr/share/bug/chromium/presubj , I'm all ears.
Otherwise, this is
a) not an RC bug,
b) arguably not a bug at all, since it's simply text suggesting people
use upstream's bug tracker instead of littering debian's bug tracking
system with bugs that will never get looked at (see other browsers in
debian for examples of that). Bug reporters can always decide to simply
not do that.
A perfect example of this is <https://bugs.debian.org/1037232>. Jordan
reported a valid bug to the debian BTS, which is fine, but I don't
personally know the first thing about screen readers and Orca. They
first reported the bug to upstream via crbug.com, provided upstream
with a bunch of in-depth information and knowledge that I simply don't
have, and have gotten the attention of chromium and igalia
employees/developers.
Had they simply reported the bug to debian, assuming I had free time to
look into it (which is a big assumption), I would've had to ask a bunch
of questions of the submitter to get relevant information so that I
could file a bug upstream. The reporter saved everyone time by just
reporting the bug upstream first.
