		35
		36	The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
		37	patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode. Before
		38	reporting a bug to the original rxvt-unicode author please download and
		39	install the genuine version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>)
		40	and try to reproduce the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the
		41	problems are specific to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be
		42	reported via the Debian Bug Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report
		43	the bug).
		44
		45	For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
		46	probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
		47	bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that
		48	might encounter the same issue.
