Sorry, reportbug asked me for "either source of [sic] binary package"
so I assumed either one was equally useful to the ftp team. Is there a
syntax in which the ftp team would prefer to receive override requests
for easiest review/copy/paste, so I can ask for reportbug to populate
the bug report with that syntax, analogous to how it knows how to compose
ben and wanna-build syntax for release team bugs?
(Perhaps the ideal thing would be if I could tell reportbug that I want to
override "src:clutter-1.0 src:cogl", and it would do the appropriate apt
queries to expand that into a list of binary packages ready for the ftp
team's use?)
