then bugzilla is for sure the wrong place

all these bug report would making only noise, mostly get
closed with WONTFIX or close dby the bugzapper, it's a
waste of time and energy for people not responsible for
but hear the noise

in the worst case some packagers write some hurry tests
to make you happy which are not worth one line written
for them because they don't conver anything and so does
not help in case of breakage in later builds

often enough writing good tests is more work than the software itself
