That's perfectly understandable.

We are really interested to fulfill this expectation.

I did not mind in this specific case.  However, there is no guarantee
that this will work reliably also in the future.

Believe me I've seen *lots* of suggestions how bug reporting could be
enhanced for beginners.  I think we can save our times to discuss this
here at this hidden place.  I think if you simply keep the tool

   reportbug

in mind and fire this up from a Debian machine it should sufficiently
self-explaining for people who are skilled enough to develop complex
software tools.  Its a simple text menu and there is no need to setup
some SMTP host so you can use it from any machine (that's connected
to the internet).
 
Thanks for your suggestions and comments anyway

     Andreas.
