They're useful to know where a particular message was dispatched, what
the new message-id is, what date it was dispatched, etc. Rewriting the
original fields is kind of wrong when you're resending mail, so that's
why the Resent-* fields were created in the RFC, and that's why
debbugs uses them.
Anything that uses them to produce replies is just broken, and should
be fixed. [That few things use Resent-*; is probably the only reason
why it hasn't been noticed before.]
