1091
1092The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
1093patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
1094unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
1095the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
1096version (L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html>) and try to
1097reproduce the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are
1098specific to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the
1099Debian Bug Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug).
1100
1101For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
1102probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
1103bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that
1104might encounter the same issue.
