Shouldn't #543806 be closed?
The only other possibility I see is to modify the parser for incoming wnpp
bugs, such that it does not create multiple reports when there is no "--"
marker in the subject line.
But this would break (arguably undesired) feature of being able to file
multiple wnpp bugs in one go.
Then again, the documentation on http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ does
state that the correct subject format as being
Subject: TAG: package name -- short package description
so the problem in #543806 could be labeled as a case of user error.
KR,
