From my humble and inexperienced POV, it's better to tell the users that they 
_can_ forward the bug upstream than let their bug be forgotten in our BT. 

In my case, as a "junior" job, I am trying to take care mainly of Kopete bugs 
(not package related, but I hope that will change someday). I will read them 
from time to time and forward those that need to, but if the user him/herself 
has done that, the better. I think in this way we gain from at least two 
sides: the users can learn, understand and become more useful in the software 
life span and we can focus in Debian's bugs. Or packaging new versions :-)

So, it may be rude in the begging, but more useful in the end... and my vote 
goes to make it official.

Regards, Lisandro.
