I didn't worry to much about it because we already have all sorts of
fake packages in the BTS as is it.  "www.debian.org", "project",
"general", "tech-ctte", etc.

I figured if there were demand for the bug tracking services to
continue, we could provide them.  On the other hand, debbugs is actively
maintained, and I have to wonder how hard it would really be to set up a
different BTS for the non-free refugee packages.

Still, you're right, it might be a good idea for the GR to indicate the
disposition of the BTS.
