Reading the history of #410671, it sounds like there is some confusion
and tension created by the lack of feedback that comes from merging
bugs with unreproducible and/or wontfix tags, in particular comment
#46 from Mike Hommey:

http://bugs.debian.org/410671#46

I can't even tell how that bug ever got tagged unreproducible or
wontfix in the first place from the web interface, so i'm not in a
good position to explain what exactly went wrong, but it would be
great if there was a technical way to have avoided some of the beef in
this conversation.

retitle 644118 perform actions required when forcemerging
thanks

One of the forcemerges added it, and I can't tell which one. I have
most of a patch already written to fix the way that merges and
forcemerge works so that they actually perform the actions required to
merge a bug before merging them.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to finish debugging it yet.
