Great, I suggest moving this discussion to debian-devel and you post it to the other two lists but not -devel :) Previously Chris Lawrence wrote: > - A debbugs BTS has more than one submission address (maintonly, > submit, quiet). Perhaps the URL should be a pseudo-URL, like > mailto:%s@bugs.debian.org. One should be able to deduce this from the -Style option instead of cluttering the package with more fields. I'm beginning to see the point of merging the two fields and have debbugs://bugs.debian.org/ instead. > - Debbugs BTSes should also specify a URL root for looking up bugs. > For example, Debian's is at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/, with various > appendages for bug numbers and packages.

"Origin: Debian" implies the Debian Project's BTS. No. What if we split Debian into modular bits each with their own BTS? (Consider an evil law as a result of which we can't put bug information for non-US in the main BTS) > - A "plain" submit style might be a good thing to specify: this means > the URL for submission is immutable. For example, > My-Handrolled-Package could specify a style of "plain" and a url of > "mailto:my-handrolled-package-bugs@my.domain.com"; this means, "send > all bug reports to this URL", and would tell a smart UI to ignore > flags like --maintonly, etc. The -Style already implies this.
