The recent version in GNU ELPA is debbugs 0.42.

Since debbugs 0.41, bug reports are retrieved asynchronously.
debbugs-gnu-show-last-result switches to the result buffer (you get a
meesage, when bug retrieval has finished).

If you don't like it, set debbugs-gnu-use-threads to nil.

See (info "(debbugs-ug) Retrieving Bugs")
