You should be able to do that, yes: by placing BTS (bug tracking system)
control commands (as 'pseudoheaders') at the start of your email messages to
bug threads: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#additionalpseudoheaders

Fair point.. hmm.  Ideally we'd want test coverage to ensure that it doesn't
happen again, though.

The upstream codebase does appear to assert on the contents[1] of the HTML
response in some cases; something similar could work as a regression test
for this bug.
