That's unfortunate. Without being able to query the BTS, how am I to
avoid duplicate reports unless I check the Web site first? How can I do
a followup to an existing report through reportbug?

The package I was checking is flashplugin-nonfree which I found later is
Devuan bug #69. Without an update from upstream Debian, it will be up
to us to provide a patch and a package that tracks the current Flash
version, if possible.

(Yes, I generally abhor Flash, but others in the family need it for
sites I don't visit).
