Unless we have that function, I fear we sometimes need to keep a copy of
a bug open in the wrong package. E.g. we have a bug which was first
reported as #247849, which is reassigned to debconf (and merged with an
other one there. After reassigning, we got #257022 and #264982. I'd
rather keept them in our package instead of reassigning (and waiting
until the next clone comes in against tetex).
