This is contrary to what I've been told.

I always recommend trying to ascertain whether other distros also see the 
problem, and to report it upstream if that seems to be so.  If it is not 
possible to ascertain that I was told that it should in the first instance be 
reported to the distro, who will then pass it upstream if relevant.

Has there been a recent change of policy?
