Hello!

For those who doesn't know, I'm the Debian StumpWM maintainer.

When you encounter a problem in a Debian package (being it StumpWM or
SBCL or whatever else), could you please file a bug in the Debian Bug
Tracking System [1], preferentially using reportbug [2]?

Reporting a test case together with the bug will be very useful,
indeed.

Well, once the source of the bug discovered, it can be reported
upstream to see if it can be fixed.

Thx, bye,
