Yeah, it's on purpose. It's a local debbugs version, thus local-debbugs; the package namespace, though, is debbugs, thus debbugs-local. However, given that at least four people have asked this very same question, it seems clear that it's not obvious to anyone else, so I probably need to drop in a debbugs-local symlink.
