Correct way to support bugfixes/packge updates

[lst_hoe02 at kwsoft.de]

Hello Masters,

we use some packages from "universe" repository for which we like to  
push updates/bugfixes. Until now we have re-build some of these for  
our own use to get long standing bugs fixed, but IMHO it would be  
better to fix the package in the repo so others get the fixes also?  
Can someone explain what is the preferred way to for example get bugs  
fixed in the cyrus package?

Can we help to prepare a merge of the actual source in the  
ubuntu/debian build?
Who should be contacted to get something included?

Thanks for any comments

Andreas
