Oh please - keep bug reports on the mailing list! I have nothing
to hide (at least, not when it comes to Hobbit :-))

Seriously, the Hobbit mailing list does go to my personal mailbox.
And it's automatically tagged with "[hobbit]" making it easy to
spot. So please keep it on the list.

(Of couse, if a bug report involves some information about 
hosts, IP-adresses etc that you would prefer to keep private,
sending it directly to me is OK. But usually this kind of data
only shows up after an initial report to the list).

Hmm ... it was supposed to set that up during the dpkg "setup"
phase. I must admit it's been a long time since I've looked at 
the debian client-package install, so I may have broken something
along the way of the 4.2 release.

I'll check up on it.
