I have now implemented this with the +following syntax: + + Package: foo + Version: 1.0-3 + Control: retitle -1 this is the title + Control: severity -1 bleargh + Control: summary -1 0 + Control: forward -1 http://bugs.debian.org/nnn + +In short, you preface any control commands with Control:, -1 is the +current bug, and the rest of each line is the control@ grammar you +already know. This also now works for every kind of message to +nnn@bugs.debian.org with the exception of messages received at +nnn-done and nnn-forwarded. I don't know why you'd use it for anything +else but submit@ messages, but hey, whatever works. + + +[[!tag debian tech debbugs]] -- 2.39.2
