I was trying to merge 2 bugs with forcemerge and I got an error because
one was reported against dpkg and the other against dpkg-dev, given that
both packages are part of the same source package, it should allow me to
do it and assume that the first bug is assigned on the right package.

The transcript could indicate that the bug got reassigned through the
merge.
Bug 564140 is not in the same package as 561237

Cheers,

reassign 564183 debbugs
thanks

I've specifically disallowed this to avoid bug # typos, though I think
exceptions could be made for packages in the same source package but
different binary packages. In such a case, the bug would be reassigned
to the binary package of the first bug if it was different.
