Currently if I clone a bug (using the "...as a clone of this bug" option), then the enter_bug.cgi page has the "depends on" field pre-filled with the bug number of the original bug.

This pre-filled "depends on" has never been useful for the bug I'm trying to file, and it's very easy to forget to remove it before pressing create.

I would posit that the use-cases for having it pre-filled are rarer than the inverse, plus the user-surprise is greater if an unwanted dependency is added, rather than the user having to remember to create it themselves.

Thanks!
Any thoughts on whether this change would be accepted, if someone opened a PR? :-)

Yes, I think that a PR would be fine here.
