I don't know about a Debian bug number, but the problem is due to an
internal limit on the line lengths in bibtex.  Apparently newer
versions of hyperref include a \url command that corrects this problem
automatically (so maybe this is fixed-in-experimental?)

If not, the fix is to insert spaces in the argument to \url (url
ignores spaces by default, if there was an actual space in the URL
you;d encode it as `+'), for example
