Because there could be a bug in a Debian package. You probably rather wanted to ask: "Why did you not log a Bacula bug in the Bacula bug tracking system instead?" Because that's the default way to report problem with a binary Debian package. It's the lazy end-user's way to tell the package maintainer that there is a problem. In case the package being shipped with Debian Sarge has a serious bug - perhaps even a security-relevant one - then Debian needs to take action quickly. That could mean packaging a slightly newer version or adding upstream patches to the "old" version by the package maintainer. Usually asking the (upstream) software developers means getting the reply "ah, that has been fixed in a later version - please upgrade". But Debian doesn't work that way. The package maintainer's duty is to look into the bug report, hopefully verify the bug and decide whether to forward that report upstream. But perhaps you want to clarify.
