As well as the build pulls 99% UDEBs from official debian > repositories. That doesn't mean that everything built on top of it has to be reported on Debian mailing lists and bug tracker.

If you want to reply to submitters/maintainers, reply to specific bug reports/threads, instead of sending lengthy mails to other people? > Finally, I am not requesting *any* support.

I'm just not convinced such reports are useful. If you encounter specific issues, report specific bug reports against the relevant component. debian-boot@ isn't and shouldn't be the destination of each and every thing connected to, or merely using, Debian Installer. > "We also encourage installation reports to be sent even if the > installation is successful, so that we can get as much information as > possible on the largest number of hardware configurations." < > https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html.en#submit-bug > > Sure, with official images. > If you are still 'bothered' with my sporadic submissions, I encourage > you to modify the documentation to specifically exclude the glaring > omission. I could be adding a specific =E2=80=9Cwe don't need reiser4-specific report= s=E2=80=9D there, but I would hope this isn't needed, since the only submitter of such reports against images we don't build, publish, or support, seems to be you. Thanks for your cooperation.
