Bug Tracking System and Policy Manual


Since 1994 Debian has had a public bugtracking system
on the Internet.  This is an open system to which people can
submit bugreports, features requests and other comments.  
It is used primarily email-in, web-out.

One important success factor for Debian is the integration
of all the different packages. This is coordinated through
the policy document, which gives guidelines for building
and maintaining packages.  Packaging and policy checking 
tools facilitate correctness.
