Post as fast as possible(hours/daiys)
the bugs usually are not repaired by debian ,but they are fixed by the people that owns the buggy package(they are often help by other programmers)

This is what is so good about open source.

If there is a problem anyone who wants to can fix it and then everyone else can use the patch. Much better then the windblows method. Look at all of the holes in Internet explorer that still have not been fixed
