Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

I think these error messages can be improved:

| Processing commands for cont...@bugs.debian.org:
| 
| > clone 577650 -1
| Bug#577650: libcupt-perl: Does not handle automatic upgrade of git packages
| Bug is marked as being merged with others. Use an existing clone.

Huh?  Does that mean I have to unmerge before cloning?  Once I understand
this, I’ll be happy to file a separate bug for it.

| > retitle -1 conflict on git-completion should be versioned to avoid dpkg bug
| Failed to set the title of -1: The 'bug' parameter ("-1") to 
Debbugs::Control::set_title did not pass regex check

I would prefer something to the effect of

  Failed to set the title of -1: undefined psuedo-bug-number -1

or

  Failed to set the title of -1: no such bug, since corresponding clone failed

|       Debbugs::Control::set_title('transcript', 'IO::Scalar=GLOB(0x31d4ce8)', 
'requester', 'Jonathan Nieder <jrnie...@gmail.com>', 'request_addr', 
'cont...@bugs.debian.org', 'request_msgid', 
'<20100413224129.ga1...@progeny.tock>', 'request_subject', ...) called at 
/usr/lib/debbugs/service line 879
|       eval {...} called at /usr/lib/debbugs/service line 878

Probably the debugging output should be suppressed, too.

Thoughts?
