Could you please provide the template(s) (or drafts thereof) for the bug

Sure. I will use this for now, which is the standard I use for regular

technical details are in the wiki page now ].
Thanks.
Thanks for providing the template for review.
When reading through it, I had some suggestions for some minor tweaks.
I have attached the updated version along with a diff for your
consideration.
Best regards,
Niels

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:{{ source }}, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.
Thanks.
