Doesn't apt-listbugs see bugs that 'affect' a package?

I won't add that Breaks line because:
- Only the combination of the new firmware-misc-nonfree *and* plymouth
  breaks with the unfixed initramfs-tools
- jessie and jessie-backports will never have a version of initramfs-
  tools that satisfies that
- jessie can get a fix for this in a stable update

I agree we need to stop this version of firmware-nonfree going into
testing before initramfs-tools is fixed, so I'm assigning this bug
back.
