I think that it's better to upload without fixing this bug and try to
get additional info on it. If it will not appear in 0.10.0-1 then
you'll close it later. Here is a link to the Debian BTS docs:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ (Note that to send message to the
bugreporter you'll have to explicitly add his address or
<bugnumber>-submitter at bugs.debian.org to Cc header. see
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#followup)

Cheers!
