bug#35121: [debbugs.el] debbugs-make-control-message doesn't always ask for version

[Noam Postavsky]

Severity: minor
Tags: patch

When using debbugs-make-control-message to make a "done" or "fixed"
control message from a message-mode buffer, it doesn't ask for for a
version number.  That's because (debbugs-gnu-current-status) returns nil
outside the *Bugs* buffer, so the (member "emacs" (cdr (assq 'package
status))) check always fails.

I think it should be okay to fallback to cache, or debbugs-get-status if
the cache is empty, right?

By the way, I wonder if we should ask for version even if the package is
not Emacs (obviously the initial-input suggestion only works for Emacs),
surely other packages have versions too?

Subject: [PATCH v1] Try harder to debbugs status if d-g-current-status missing

* packages/debbugs/debbugs-gnu.el (debbugs-gnu-make-control-message):
Fallback to debbugs-cache-data or debbugs-get-status if
debbugs-gnu-current-status returns nil, otherwise we fail to ask for
version number when fixing/finding/closing/etc Emacs bugs from a
message-mode buffer.
