So the Arch Way is to package broken software and close any bug you receive as upstream? If a bug doesn't affect all users I tend to say yes. We ship what is working for most users. When a workaround is known (e.g. pkg downgrade, some config file option...) we can close the bug as upstream or apply a fix that will work for all users.
It'll be hard to find a general rule here. It depends on how critical a bug is, if a patch is approved by upstream and how trivial a patch is. I'd also say that it is only useful to clsoe a bug if there was at least minimal communication. E.g. closing as upstream is not useful if upstream does not know about the problem. So at least tell the user to report upstream and once they took over you may close the bug on our side. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
