Comment 4 for bug 842076

Hi Matthijs ten, sorry for using developer slang. Someone programs an application (simple scan) and then someone (possibly different) integrates it into Ubuntu. That second step is called packaging. Bugs that are present in the program should be fixed "upstream" (by the first person), so that other people using the application, but not using Ubuntu, can profit from the fixes as well. Only problems with the integration into Ubuntu should be fixed in the packaging.

What I did was moving this bug from the simple-scan packaging to the upstream Simple Scan development; so basically we agree :)

One can discuss if it is better to keep a reference in the packaging bug list to the upstream bug and wait until the upstream fixes have been incorporated into the package, and only then close that reference bug, but in my personal opinion this is total overkill for such a small project as Simple Scan.

So rest assure, this bug is still relevant and at filed at a place where it gets maximum attention from the relevant developer(s) -- even though there is not actually happening that much currently.
