I think you should report essentially the same bug in the other
package, with a mention to your previous bug number. If you have a
way to detect the presence of the bug then include details of that.
Hopefully someone with the ability to do an MBF will then be able to
do so.
Your quest for a way to find buggy packages might be helped by
