I would object to that, too.
That would equally make "all bpo bugs go to the BTS" in my case. Thanks, but no,
thanks. Especially not if the "bug" is caused by a external package and/or debhelper
backported but its scripts not adapted back to lenny so that e.g. the built packages
don't call update-mime-database.
I don't think Joey will be happy if I reassigned this bug to debhelper, even with
a + backports tag.
