Always see if the symptoms you are seeing are similiar to something that has happened in the past. Bugs tend to cluster around small bits of code. Ie, the vast majority of code tends to be relatively bug free, and a small amount of code has the highest concentration of bugs. So looking for similiar bugs in a software program's history can clue one in on how to fix new bugs.

I figure a patch could be provided for the right part of katie -- it already knows NMUs (special case for not closing bugs), you just have to insert the sending of mail with the right verbiage. The latter, however, doesn't strike me as particularly obvious. What do you tell the submitter? Do you recommend the upgrade, or just suggest it? Do you mention it's a NMU, should they care? It's somewhat puzzling, as there are NMUs of various qualities... Arguably, there are maintainer uploads of various qualities, but given it's the official upload, the licence to recommend it is implied, whereas with a NMU, it is not. -- 2.
