Depends. If people will tend to report the bug against the package
FTBFSing, although the reason might be in a different package, the
report should not be reassigned (clone and reassign it to the correct
package). Instead leave it open and declare a "blocked by".

Then simply close it as soon as the situation is fixed by sending a mail
to -done@b.d.o.
