english/Bugs/pseudo-packages.description is actually generated by a cron
job on www-master.debian.org
http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/cron/parts/1pseudo-packages?view=markup
It is downloaded from http://bugs.debian.org/pseudopackages/pseudo-packages.description
It could actually be moved in the english makefile to avoid such offline
build errors.
So if you want to test this specific build, download
http://bugs.debian.org/pseudopackages/pseudo-packages.description to
english/Bugs/pseudo-packages.description

You are technically authorized to modify the english website as well.
However, the better for the moment is to talk first to the list
debian-www@lists.d.o (make sure your are subscribed by the way) with the
patch you want to commit, in order to check that the best method is used
to fix this issue (for example the use of smartchange.pl script in case
of URLs).
So don't hesitate to report on the list issues / proposals for fixes.
