 A big part of your job as Debian maintainer will be to stay in contact
 with the upstream developers.  Debian users will sometimes report bugs
-to the Bug Tracking System that are not specific to Debian.  You
-must forward these bug reports to the upstream developers so that
-they can be fixed in a future release.  It's not your job to fix
-non-Debian specific bugs.  However, if you are able to do so, you are
-encouraged to contribute to upstream development of the package by
-providing a fix for the bug.  Debian users and developers will often
-submit patches to fix upstream bugs, and you should evaluate and
-forward these patches upstream.
