At Jonhie's suggestion I have added a rewriting rule for bugs.debian.org, the following URLs now act as expected:
http://bugs.debian.org/ --> To main bugs page http://bugs.debian.org/apt --> To the bug pages for APT http://bugs.debian.org/<pkg> -> To the bug pages for any package lists.debian.org, packages.debian.org, vote.debian.org and perhaps others I have forgotten also have redirects but only the first, to the proper page on www.debian.org. I intend to make use of this wherever I had used the real URL, such as in the APT man pages. Jason
