Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal
I reported bugs #464365 and #466422 against the gcc-4.2 source package,
using the Source: pseudoheader instead of Package:, as described at
<http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#additionalpseudoheaders>. I did
this because the problems I encountered: (a) relate to the package build
process; (b) affect multiple binary packages built from the same source
package; and (c) (because I am building cross-compilers) do not in any
way affect the binary packages that are distributed by Debian (and in
the case of #464365 do not affect the "gcc" binary package itself).
However, both bugs are listed at bugs.debian.org not only against the
gcc-4.2 source package but also against the binary package. This is not
the behaviour I expected. I went to the trouble of specifying the source
package precisely because I did not feel it was appropriate to report
these bugs against any binary package.

Hi,
This email closes three bugreports against bugs.debian.org
These dangling BRs scare people in both fixing bugs
and in reporting new bugs.

We currently do not specially deal with bugs that have been filed
against a particular Source: package as opposed to a particular binary
Package:. In the future this will probably change, but for the time
being, that's how it works.
