Hmm, the recent bug creation rate looks suspiciously like someone was
trying to find bugs to 'prove' that the Rust version was better than the
GNU C version, or something like that. Perhaps a new test suite was
targetted at it. I'm not sure that it would be entirely fair to blame
the Debian packaging for that.

That's not to say the bug reports aren't fair and due attention.

I must admit I didn't spot any packaging-specific issue because of the
amount of the above type!
