2. Where to send the bug report?
--------------------------------
Report error logs of build time errors to live-helper and run time errors to
-casper in the Debian Bug Tracking System. If you are unsure or need more help
-before submitting a bug report, you can always send a message to
+live-initramfs in the Debian Bug Tracking System. If you are unsure or need more
+help before submitting a bug report, you can always send a message to
<debian-devel-live@lists.alioth.debian.org>. We will help you to figure it out.
+
+To make the most out of your bug report, we require at least the following
+information:
+
+ * Architecture of the host system
+ * Version of live-helper on the host system
+ * Version of live-initramfs on the live system
+ * Version of cdebootstrap and/or debootstrap on the host system
+
+ * Architecture of the live system
+ * Distribution of the live system
+ * Version of the kernel on the live system
+
+Additionally, to rule out other errors, it is always a good idea to tar up your
+config directory and upload it somewhere (do *NOT* send it as an attachment to
+the mailinglist), so that we can try to reproduce the errors you encountered.
