Author bugs in packages not frequently used

To reiterate what I just said in a reply, as it is somewhat
important. I believe some bugs are being missed in the less used
packages. I have found several already since I began working on my
Deb-Ice project. I assume that since the packages are not getting as
much testing these are slipping through. I will be posting bug reports
through Debian's bug tracking system as I discover these, if they have
not been posted previously.

Thank you! We all appreciate good bug reports, and often the maintainers
only use packages regularly in specific ways and won't find bugs
themselves in other usage patterns.
