Now we have this at
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html:

Initially, a bug report is submitted by a user as an ordinary mail message 
to submit@bugs.debian.org which must include a Package line (see Bug 
Reporting Instructions for more information). This will then be given a 
number, acknowledged to the user, and forwarded to debian-bugs-dist. If 
the submitter included a Package line listing a package with a known 
maintainer the maintainer will get a copy too.


Now above information contradicts itself:
1. a Package line HAS TO BE INCLUDED
	contra
2. IF a package line WAS INCLUDED, then ...


I would propose the following:


  Reporting Instructions for more information). This will then be given a 
  number, acknowledged to the user, and forwarded to debian-bugs-dist. If 
- the submitter included a Package line listing a package with a known 
- maintainer the maintainer will get a copy too.
+ the Package line contains a package which has a known
+ maintainer, the maintainer will get a copy too.
