There is now a merge request for this:
https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/-/merge_requests/56

Note that this applies to reportbug, not querybts. Querybts is already
inferior to reportbug in querying bugs today:

 - By default querybts retrieves the bug list only for the binary
   package, not the much more comprehensive list for the
   corresponding source package.
 - If a user wants to query for the source package with querybts,
   they have to figure out the name of the source package themselves
   and in addition use the -s/--source option to really achieve the
   desired query.

Perhaps we should add stronger hints that users should just use
reportbug instead.
