I recognize that this happens, but I argue this is due to a bug in debbugs rather than being intended. Moreover, I agree with you that using having sm has two distinct maintainers (when interpreting as source and binary) is something that should be avoided by renaming either package. > - Your bug report was about package sm (and another package).

If I were to reassign the bug to src:screen-message, the conflict discovery tool would no longer recognize the bug as it were no longer affecting sm and as a result it would be filing a duplicate. The technically correct assignment is with sm even though it causes mails to reach an unintended destination. The next step in reassignment should be one of Control: reassign -1 sm Control: affects -1 + inn2 or Control: reassign -1 inn2 Control: affects -1 + sm at which point the bts hopefully stops delivering mails to src:sm by no longer triggering the faulty code path.
