Hello Dan,

The problem is that the reporter of 562904 used a non-standard way of
specifying the package affected by the bug (because he didn't use
reportbug):

package: adonthell

instead of

Package: adonthell

as defined here: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting .

I'll run a check on the bts archives to check how many occurrences of
such wrong pseudo-headers are there: if it's just one bug, I'll try to
fix it, else I'll implement a case-insensitive split in reportbug.
