This seems to be a larger problem with the inheritability of bughelper. While I understand that this particular bug is about the source package, there seems to be a bigger issue. For example, totem inherits firefox's clue file and applies the tags clue to totem. When bughelper is ran you get output like this: http:// daniel. holba.ch/ bugs/totem. html which doesn't seem to make sense for inherits to handle. What would be a good way to get this done? Perhaps a inherits=false or inherits = affects <packages> might be a middle ground? ATM, afaik inherits only works as a true statement with inheriting all the clue files. Thoughts?
