Summary	0008959: Extension suggestion for "Submitting Bugs for Kali Linux" documentation
Description	e.g. things like 0008926:0019812: We provide xfce packages (in this case xfwm4 I think) unmodified from Debian. So you should verify that you can reproduce those issues in Debian and then report them to Debian (or to the upstream project directly). See https://www.kali.org/docs/community/submitting-issues-kali-bug-tracker/ We don't have the manpower to investigate those issues ourselves. could be added to https://www.kali.org/docs/community/submitting-issues-kali-bug-tracker/ Basically provide guidance how to figure out: which packages are provided unmodified from Debian and thus bugs should be forwarded to Debian in which case bugs should be reported to the upstream project directly what is "the upstream project" / where to redirect the bug report

And consider that we are not kernel developers, if you know of a fix, we will gladly integrate it in our kernel build. Otherwise your best bet is to wait the next kernel update and keep around an old kernel that works for you (for example by installing an old known-working Kali image).
