For sure. Even Don Armstrong, maintainer of Debbugs (and supporting me
with its SOAP interface) might shoot me, because I use some other
keywords than stoned in Debbugs. "Severity" is called "tags" there,
which has another meaning in XESAM.

That's something I have on my long-term agenda, indeed. But first I'ld
like to finish the Debbugs interface. And then, it takes at least a
comparison of Debbugs, Bugzilla, GNATS, Launchpad, etc (to quote only
some of them) in order to find common attributes.

There are debbugs:blockedBy and debbugs:blocks. I don't use them ATM,
because they cannot be sent in the SOAP query (like other fields).
