About the new package tracker

This package tracker is better than the old one on many aspects (easy to extend, more dynamic, responsive, packed with new features such as subscription management on the web, team subscriptions, etc.) but should you find some features that are lacking or some other problems, then please file bug reports against the tracker.debian.org pseudo-package. Also don't hesitate to help us by contributing patches for those issues.

Not convinced? Go back to the old package tracking system.
