I get the impression from bugs.debian.org that only the receiving end
can reclassify bugs. The package for the FAQ appears to be doc-debian
and while technically this probably isn't a FAQ, the Debian FAQ does
seem to be one good place to mention something about backup procedures
(there's a section called "Keeping Your Debian System Up To Date" but
that's not exactly about keeping it running -- but perhaps it could be
expanded?)
