I've uploaded a test version of the tool at: deb http://people.debian.org/~taru/deb/apt-listbugs/ ./
I'd like you to check it. Currently, it retrieves bug reports from not bugs.debian.org, but hanzubon.debian.gr.jp, which does proxy-caching of bugs.debian.org temporary. This keeps a query to bugs.debian.org for 20 minutes to avoid many queries to it. I guess we need more sophisticated framework.
