Package: lintian Severity: wishlist Hi,
As evidenced by #740944, a maintainer trying to document the location of the upstream bug tracker, can make reportbug unable to report bugs. In this case, the maintainer for trasmission set this in the source part of the control file: Bugs: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ The bespin and media-player-info packages seem to be doing the same: Bugs: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=976907&group_id=201276&func=browse Bugs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=media-player-info On the other hand, dpkg seems to have a valid use for it, which I presume is to ask derivatives to use the debian BTS for all dpkg bugs: Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org In general, I'd argue that any Debian package that uses this header to avoid using the BTS as their bug tracker, is rc-buggy (hiding problems, etc). I think this at least deserves a lintian warning.
