+ == Bug reporting ==
+ 
+ The Linux distribution SkoleLinux is based heavily on Debian and DebianEdu work (or to credit rightfully: the DebianEdu work ''is'' a distilled result of work done in the SkoleLinux community!).
+ 
+ But SkoleLinux moves in an own pace, so some packages are newer than officially released in Debian, some are older, and some are adjusted a bit for special SkoleLinux needs.
+ 
+ Bugs should be filed against the Debian BTS when appropriate, to minimize the coordination needed to resolve.
+ 
+ Some Debian maintainers love feedback, even from external derived use of their packages. Others want only to deal strictly with Debian.
+ 
+  * Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian maintained by debian-edu
+  * Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian used as-is in Skolelinux
+  * Use Debian BTS for packages in Debian rebuild in Skolelinux, if the
+    Debian package maintainer welcomes such bug reports.
+  * Use Skolelinux BTS for packages in Debian but rebuild for Skolelinux
+    if the package maintainer is not explicitly interested in them
+  * Use Skolelinux BTS for packages only in Skolelinux.
+ 
+ When in doubt, file a bug against the SkoleLinux [[http://bugs.skolelinux.no|Bugzilla]] and let DebianEdu move it around as needed.
+ 
+ When reporting bugs on Debian BTS, that are relevant for Skolelinux, it's a good idea to tag them with our Skolelinux usertag That makes them much easier to [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?usertag=debian-edu@lists.debian.org|track]].
+ You can tag a bug with our usertag by sending a email to request at bugs.debian.org with contents like this
+ {{{
+ user debian-edu at lists.debian.org
+ usertag 123456 + debian-edu
+ thanks
+ }}}
+ You can tag multiple bugs in each email by just adding usertag lines.
+ 
+ You can also usertag bugs when you create them, by adding headers like this:
+ {{{
+ User: debian-edu at lists.debian.org
+ Usertags: debian-edu
+ }}}
