That is good and appreciated. 

However it is ineffective to report bugs only for one distribution.  For
one an upstream author can't follow all bug trackers of all
GNU/Linux,Solaris,*BSD,etc. distributions.  And second, fixing or
talking about a bug within one distro excludes all those who have a
similar problem but using a different distribution.

Thus, if you encounter an upstream bug and you are somewhat convinced
that it is not distribution specific, please report it to upstream and
set a pointer into the distro's BTS to that bug report.  The GnuPG BTS
even has an URL field to backlink it to the first reporter's BTS.

Thanks.

I don't understand this, seems to be Gentoo specific.
