Please file those type of bug reports upstream (672314, 672174, 672166,
...).

They are not Debian specific and not something we can do anything about
in Debian. All we can do is, file the upstream bug report ourselves, but
then we (the Debian GNOME team) will have to play messenger between you
and upstream. It's much more efficient and less waste of our time if you
file those bugs directly.
If you want the bugs being tracked in the Debian BTS, just let us know
the upstream bug number and we will mark the bug accordingly.
