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