 I have also reported this bug to the debian bug tracking system
 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286333). But nothing
 seems to happen. And other bugs in the same package have not been responded
 to, even though they are 100+ days old. Is it considered acceptable
 behavior, to report the bug to two places under these circumstances?

+This is not a bug. According to
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemtypeclassgettypetopic1.asp
+
+If typeName includes only the name of the Type, this method searches
+in the calling object's assembly, then in the mscorlib.dll assembly.
+If typeName is fully qualified with the partial or complete assembly
+name, this method searches in the specified assembly.
+
+The following will work:
+
+System.Type t =
+System.Type.GetType("System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex,System");
