This is my point: I'm too lazy and too old to find out for every
random application how to install, uninstall, upgrade it, find
out which version, if any, is installed on my system, whether
the software complies with the DFSG, etc.

I expect Debian maintainers to forward bugs to upstream, if they
assume, that the bug is not introduced by them. (For some highly
complex software, like Gnome or KDE, this is not practical, but
for many packages this should work.)
