You may send your add-on as mail to the bug's mail address
num...@bugs.debian.org, e.g.  864...@bugs.debian.org .

If you participate in a bug report, you should also subscribe to
the bug: number-subscr...@bugs.debian.org (e.g.
864701-subscr...@bugs.debian.org) so you get other people's add-ons
as mail.

It depends on the situation, whether a simple "me too" report is
of help. Often it is appropriate only if you can contribute yet
unknown information how to reproduce or how to avoid the bug.
Hardware related bugs on the other side, can well take profit from
add-on reports which simply tell affected or non-affected hardware.

Always welcome is a good theory why the bug happens.

bug report mouse

[Josef Atmin]

Hello,

I want to file a bug report regarding the mouse (touchpad as well as
normal mouse).  Every now and then it simply stops working.  I can get
it working again by running

  modprobe -r psmouse
  modprobe psmouse

as root, but that is not really a good solution.  I do not know which
package I should report the bug on.  Can you help?

Best wishes,

Josef Atmin.

PS: Sometimes a bug I want to report has already been reported.  Is
there a way to just indicate "I have the same problem".  I think that
would be useful to make transparent how frequent a bug is.
