Thanks Anthony.

Looking at the list of tags, I see "patch" and "security" that
could reasonably be used while submitting a bug report to
submit@bugs.

The others are: wontfix, moreinfo, unreproducible, fixed.  They
would only be used in message sent to control@bugs by the maintainer.

Is my interpretation correct?  (debian-bug.el will provide a
mechanism for adding these tags.)

Thanks,
Peter
