Why do you expect to get bugreports for a correct man page?

Looking at the current Debian Bug list shows that all bug reports that are not 
related to packaging will go away if you upgrade to the current star-1.5 
version.

My suggestions are always correct. The problem is that you did missunderstand
things several times. I suspect that you did not try to understand how the 
compilation works and as a result created a buggy patch....

Please read this bug report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310662

to understand that your incorrect source handling caused massive problems.

Also note that some tim eago, I told you why a makefilesystem that includes a 
complete dependency list and that controls the calling of ./configure has 
problems to iplement make clean from the makefile system (except if there is a 
way to reverse the action order for a specific target). For this reason, all
distributions come with a ".clean" shell script.

In order to avoid such missunderstandings, it is good practice to foster good 
relations with the author and just ask in case things are not 100% clear.

This is how Mika was able to get things running quickly ;-)
