Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As you know, bugs.debian.org doesn't eat the backport changelogs, so
it has no idea about what bugs might be present in any given BPO
version of a package.  Even when those bugs are merely inherited from
the backported version of the package.

Consequently, apt-listbugs will, at best, be able to find out about
bugs in backports if they were reported as found in that exact
backport version of the package -- which, if the reporter followed the
backports documentation, wouldn't even exist.

It would be nice if you could process those changelogs, even if only
for apt-listbugs' benefit.

(Better if you could also actually send bugs reported against BPO
versions to the right place, but AIUI there is no clear definition of
where that is.)

Bug #433335 / Bug #544726 is probably a bit more urgent, though...
