http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer defines the following tags as reasons to
dismiss a bug report:
* wontfix: the behaviour described can be reproduced or the feature request is
understood; it is indeed an issue with our package but we can't or won't do
anything about it because there are stronger reasons to leave things the way
they are.
* unreproducible: the behaviour described could not be reproduced or the
feature requested already exists.
But what about the middle case, i.e. "the behaviour described could be
reproduced, but it's not a bug, or at least not our fault"? (Bugzilla calls
this "INVALID").
Often, but not always, the bug can or should be reassigned to another package,
but then a second user might come around and submit the same bug report.
Example: http://bugs.debian.org/400437 and http://bugs.debian.org/400693
