This sounds like a good approach.

I've refactored 'debianbts.py' so that it now uses the ITP template 
from a module-level attribute, 'debianbts.itp_template'. This should 
make it simpler for you to grab its lines and know they're the same 
lines as used for the template.

It would be good to:

  * check each line from the template to see if it's present

  * warn about every template line (not just one) that was found 
    unmodified in the message

  * allow the user to re-edit the message
