Ok, I looked at the requirements for debbugs:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - GNU m4 - GNU date - GNU gzip - Perl 5 (5.004 is known to
work) - Lynx 2.7 or later - atob/btoa - The bug system requires its own mail
domain.  It comes with code   which understands how exim and qmail deliver mail
for such a domain to a   script. - If the local MTA is qmail you _must_ install
a different MTA   somewhere (eg in a subdirectory) and tell the bug system to
use that;   qmail has broken command-line parsing in its /usr/lib/sendmail  
emulation. - A webserver (this is easiest if the bug system can write  
directly to the webspace). - Somewhere to run CGI scripts (unless you don't
need the `go to   bug' and `go to package' forms to work).

So it seems like a cobbled-together kludgefest.
