I'd like to note that this is actually different from the existing
"search by submitter is case-sensitive" bugs.
"dave.beckett@bristol.ac.uk" and "Dave.Beckett@bristol.ac.uk" are
different e-mail addresses, and it's correct for debbugs to treat them
differently. The part that should be case-insensitive is the domain
part, so "Dave.Beckett@bristol.ac.uk" and "Dave.Beckett@BRISTOL.AC.UK"
should be considered equal.
