I had one of the folks who works for me at HP adapt the bug system to the 
needs of the small support group I manage.  He fixed a bunch of these 
problems, so that it's entirely based on Perl5 now.  However, he got really 
over-zealous and changed a lot of other things, too, so that I'm sure how
well what he did would transfer back.

Having said that, if someone is going to do work to package the bug tracking
system and would like a copy of what he did to review, I can try and scrape 
the pieces together...


My personal wish-list for the bug system is pretty short.  I would really like
it if the process of closing a bug recorded the version of the package that
supposedly fixed the bug.  There would of course need to be special case
handling for pseudo-packages like ftp.debian.org, where the date might be
a good substitute.  Having this additional information would allow us to know
what bugs exist against different releases, by looking at the package version
information...
