Comment 18 for bug 27956

As much as I don't like to see reopened bugs with long arguments about them, I really feel that Sebastien has dropped the ball here.

As I understand it, part of launchpad's purpose for ubuntu is to be a central place for ubuntu users to file bugs they see in ubuntu, without worrying about whether the bug report really belongs in ubuntu or whether it should be reported to another project. In general, finding the appropriate project can require some investigation. In this case, it does not, but bug reports in general are valuable enough (even for a games package imo) that they should be worth forwarding, rather than expecting normal users to do it. I thought this was the policy.

It's fine to say that upstream doesn't care, but you should provide some evidence of that, such as a link to an upstream bug that has been marked invalid or wontfix. Near as I can determine, the gnomine developers don't know about this scenario because no one has filed a bug in the gnome bugzilla.

Unfortunately, it seems whining about this probably won't get that bug filed, so I will go do that.
