Control: reassign 1071491 debbugs
Reassigning as that was clearly a mistake, similar to #1071494.
but I am not convinced it is actually helpful for your cause or
should be the take-away from that thread.
In any case, as you have used the same wording in an actual apt report
(#1071490) I would be pleased if you wouldn't do this (at least for apt)
as that IS the pointless duplication that thread is talking about.
Either you care about the MR and could give us a bit of time to actually
get a reply (which you got in a matter of hours, like most MRs in our
space) or you care to provide a proper patch in the BTS, but opening
low effort glorified redirects in the BTS is … I am posting a reply to
your MR here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/50.01923/8.09752
That place above will always contain the latest and best reply for this
submission.
If you think this is silly as its not usually part of your workflow to
travel to my hometown you might have an idea what I think about such
redirects and I somewhat doubt others will look at them more favorably
– and annoyance is probably not the feeling you want to invoke in
someone who is supposed to look at your MR before they even looked.
With that reasoning, and as that redirect is prune to be forgotten,
I am just closing it and suggest everyone who cares to read the MR
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/348
instead of trying to keep tabs on two possible places.
It isn't like we would need version tracking and such for something
that doesn't really exist within a Debian release after all.

P.S.: If you want to CC someone on a new bug, try X-Debbugs-CC;
Using reportbug might also be helpful. But maintainers are usually
subscribed to their bug mail, so that seems a bit silly, similar to
@-pinging all maintainers on Salsa for no specific reason…
