I don't know about that. This "Bugs" header is certainly not documented in the Debian Policy. I don't know who invented it, or if the reportbug developers are aware of it though.

If you refer to my message in #753265, yes, I realize that was rather enigmatic (and I didn't intend to offend anyone either), in fact I let it "slip" without explaining it any further because I could actually reproduce what was reported, so it wasn't really that important. That was not the case with this report, and that's why I expanded on that part in my response in this case, in a way that, again, was certainly not intended to be offensive (in fact, I think it was rather polite, but then again English is not my first language so I may be wrong). Now that this is cleared, please let's all get back to bug fixing. Cheers
