I don't know for wget, but with httrack (a program I develop), you could use something like:

httrack --assume standard http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=neil@debian.org '-*' '+bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=*'
or
httrack --assume standard http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=neil@debian.org '-*' '+bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=*[0-9]'
if you don't want to grab mbox/original versions too.

(You can also "flattern" the structure using -N3, depending on your needs)
