Why? Every time I find a bug in a package I maintain, which is a bug in the upstream version too, I report it. Isn't that normal? This is, in fact, just what is expected. It's what "cooperation" means to me. >> Every Ubuntu package should have a different Maintainer unless the >> Debian maintainer has agreed to be the Maintainer of the Ubuntu >> package as well.

Um, I have said nothing against crediting maintainers in the packages. I have only said that I would like Ubuntu to clearly label which is the Debian maintainer and which is the Ubuntu maintainer.
