So to conclude, there's no reason for that mass bug filing apart from your "feeling" that it "looks funny". Since it poses no real problem at all, I don't even see a lintian-test being warranted for this. This should indeed be closed unless you can come up with some real reason why this should be changed.

Naw, on 220098: 39 packages unnecessarily still use "Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org" I was told to do it, and it worked out OK. I would also wishlist it to lintian and linda.

dan, mass bug filling is the worst way to do this. try to send a wishlist for lintian and linda. So on the next time that these packages use them the mantainers will be alerted about this.
