You can also use `bts show --mbox 635622`, where `bts` is in the
`devscripts` package, to get the mbox file with all messages related to
that report and reply to it to keep the threading.

I am seeing this too. Does anyone of you remember what (version) change
caused this? I do not see anything related in the changelog entry of
1.0.24.

I tried looking at the Subversion repository for possible changes [1],
but I could not even find a link to display the commit log/history in
ViewVC.
