Hi! I just used a clone in a Control pseudo-header and was wondering what would happen if one used something like this (didn't want to try in fear of possibly messing up the bug report): Control: clone -1 Control: retitle -1 new title Control: reassign -1 new package Would the -1 shadow the current bug number, would that fail or would it be kept referring to it? I guess it would be nice to document that in bugs.debian.org.
I didn't see any documentation for the "Control:" pseudo-header beyond that it exists and (in some unexplained manner) allows control@ commands in normal messages [1]. So it would be even more important to mention the fact that "-1' does something here in the first place, don't you think?
(Obviously, an example or two would also not be amiss.) [1]: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#additionalpseudoheaders
