Reassigning a bug to a package from the same source removes "found"
information. See an example here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588150#25

The bug was assigned to cups-client and marked as found in
"cups/1.4.4-1". I did a "reassign 588150 libcups2", with the
consequence:

  Processing commands for control@bugs.debian.org:

  > reassign 588150 libcups2
  Bug #588150 [cups-client] cups no longer works with http: HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required + server DoS
  Bug reassigned from package 'cups-client' to 'libcups2'.
  Bug No longer marked as found in versions cups/1.4.4-1.

Yes, that's correct, and how it's currently designed. It will
eventually be changed, but that change is a bit complicated.

Furthermore, there's no purpose to reassigning a bug to a different
binary package built from the same source.

In such a case, you don't care that the version information
disappears; you just use forcemerge to do the right thing.
