Package: debbugs
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: wishlist
It would be great if debbugs could accept bug reports for packages
that are not part of Debian because we cannot legally redistribute
them (e.g. oracle-xe or skype). I could forward oracle-xe bugs to
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/ and perhaps somebody else could take
care of forwarding skype bugs upstream and CC'ing replies from
upstream back to the BTS.
This way there would be an easy way of getting support for software
that's not in Debian - just email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providing
such an ability would be a useful free service to Debian users
everywhere.
Does this sound like a good idea?

Why not just send bugs about it directly to upstream's bugzilla?

b.d.o is for supporting packages which are distributed by Debian and
projects which are part of Debian. There are other bug tracking
services extant that can track bugs for random packages, or you can
set up your own copy of debbugs.
