Package: devscripts

Somewhere along the line, 'bts' appears to have started cc:ing mails to the
bug number.  This is an unexpected behavior change, which is not at all
desirable - the bts command has always been an interface to the control
interface, if I wanted my comments to be echoed to the main bug log I would
have used a mail client instead of 'bts'.

Now thanks to this behavior change, I'm apparently being unintentionally
vulgar in the main bug history of some bugs:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=177584#115

I've read the rationale for this change given in bug #429649, and I have to
say that I don't find it at all persuasive as a reason to change the default
behavior of an established tool, and particularly not without announcing it.
