I see. May I suggest we introduce a convention that allows a) the 
tracker to generate appropriate links into the upstream tracker and b) 
makes casual readers immediately aware of where the link goes ?
May be a syntax such as 'debian#514215' in this case ?

OK. Yes, I was thinking of packaging docs that right now are generated 
but not installed / packaged.
