This is a good thing, for the reasons described in their bug. Most
support questions we had on IRC were about users using their .deb
package. In that case, it's much better if users simply download our
official tarballs and run checksetup.pl themselves.

Also, "Debian has been - rightfully - blamed by upstream in a posting at
Planet Mozilla that Debian provides poor security support for Bugzilla"
is a reference to one of my posts, where I publicly criticized their
inability to release new .deb packages despite several security bugs
have been fixed several months ago by the Bugzilla team.

All other Linux distros are able to maintain Bugzilla with very few
trouble. I don't know why Debian is unable to do the same. But their
decision causes no trouble to me.
