This is a meta bug that will be blocked whenever a Debian patch is submitted to
Bugzilla development. Those patches are expected to be useful for the upstream
source tree. This will provide a good way for starting collaborative work
between Bugzilla developement and Debian packaging ;)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Whenever a change is made in the debian package, it would be good either to
include the patch to upstream, or to explain to the Debian team how to avoid the
change.

Actual Results:  
There are currently some changes between Debian and Bugzilla upstream.

Expected Results:  
The best would be to have the same source tree, ideally.

Just a note:

The bugzilla 2.18-6 Debian package, which is shipped with sarge now handles
patches nicely. 

It will then be really comfortable to handle patches reported here in the debian
source tree.

Not sure that's the right place for this meta bug.
