Relaxing the syntax has been suggested by a few people right now (in
private mail to me).
In the previous discussion on debian-private some said that relaxing the
syntax is a bad idea since there might be cases where the script closes a
bug accidentially.
It would be good to hear more opinions on this.
(Personally, I'd also vote for makeing the "bug" string optional, just as
Martin suggested.)
Thanks,
Chris
