This text didn't exactly made clear who is "us" and who is "upstream"
but all bets were to me that "upstream" is Debian. So, as I was
requested to file the bug upstream, I filed it to Debian.

Part of there answer is :
> You should bring this issue upstream. There is no reason for Debian to
> diverge from upstream on such a large scale.
And please note that he doesn't say where upstream is.

So, my conclusion is that:
- everybody should do the job he's competent for and Ubuntu knows where
their upstreams are
- I'm fully competent with this problem, so I reported it
- but the different reactions tell me that obviously no one wants to
have that bug corrected
- nor the other ones, 1, 2 or 3 years old.

And so, my best option is not to lose my time reporting bugs any longer.
