Can you please file a wishlist bug? We can probably even try and bully an NM candidate into implementing it :) > Can such support be implemented via /usr/share/bug/* ? I am afraid this would mean that emdebian will have to provide a bug script for each package. Also, "bug" scripts usually don't modify the BTS mail headers, or use templates related to 'groups' of bugs (like ITPs etc.). I think reportbug is the right place to implement these rules.
