Excerpts from Josh Berkus's message of mar may 31 17:05:23 -0400 2011:

BTW, we talked to Debian about debbugs ages ago, and the Debian project
said that far too much of debbugs was not portable to other projects.
The good news is that the GNU folk proved them wrong, as evidenced
elsewhere in the thread.

What happened is that one of the authors got motivated (not sure why/how) to put a major amount of work into making the code portable so that sites other than Debian could use it. So past perceptions about it being really hard were correct, that's just been fixed since then.
