Let's see how it behaves first. After further thinking, I believe it
should be good. The new tracker does not follow debian-lts-changes AFAIK,
only the old one does for the news feed displayed on the package page.

Yes, I would like to simplify all this... and to some extent, I already
put the required infrastructure in place for it.
The package tracker needs a single copy of the mail arriving to dispatch@
but that copy can come from:
- a mail to <package|source>@packages.d.o
- a direct mail to dispatch@tracker.d.o
- a mail to <source>@packages.qa.debian.org (kept working for now until
all services migrated)
So basically the rules are: when you send a mail to @packages.d.o, you
don't need to send a copy to dispatch@tracker.d.o. For all other (public)
mails, you should send a copy to dispatch@tracker.d.o. And you should no
longer send anything to @packages.qa.d.o.
Ideally, we would always use @packages.d.o as the single contact point.
(Except that it does not work very well for new packages as the list of
alias on that service is static. So in the long term I would like the
tracker to handle that email service directly.)
