I've modified my proposal in response to a good point that Marcelo Magallon made. It is possible for bugs to be assigned to more than one package: reassign 123456 wnpp,ftp.debian.org This makes the bug show up in the indices for both packages. It seems like a good application of this seldom-used feature of the BTS. Again, under normal circumstances (package maintainer created a good package and included the Closes: <ITP bug> in the package changelog), this requires no special action from the FTP admins whatever. I would expect the package maintainer to do the above reassignment when uploading the package. On top of everything else, the above could be automated in a tool like "debrelease". -- G.
