Dear BTS maintainer(s),

While triaging bugs filed against unknown packages I've noticed there
are quite a few bugs submitted by experienced Debian contributors (quite
often DDs) like:

    Source: <binary-package>

It seems the assumption here is that the bug will be filed against
src:<source-package>. As far as I can tell this expectation is fulfilled
by other Debian infrastructure (most notably the PTS), so I think it
would make sense for the BTS to do this as well.

Kind regards,
Andrei
