No, please do not file bugreports about Sugar activities not packaged 
for Debian.

If you resolve that the bug is not in your externally downloaded 
activity but somewhere else, e.g. Python typo in sugar-datastore, then 
file a bugreport about that (and mention that non-Debian activity as a 
test case to provoke the error).

And feel free to file so-called "RFP" (Request For Packaging) bugreports 
for activities you would want to get packaged.

No, please do file bugreports against Debian packages containing bugs!

Debian is not upstream. Debian might need to live with a bug for several 
years, until a newer upstream version can replace it.


Simple rule for end users: Please file bugreports to your distribution, 
against any software packages from them(!) you experience problems with.

Such bugreports are a valuable contribution, and are highly appreciated!
