Hi Michael,

Perfect.  Thank you.
With that, I can run "emacs -f debbugs-gnu" and use the new interface,
though starting it as you suggest below with C-u M-x debbugs-gnu is
better, since that filters out "unwanted" (i.e., "done") issues.

There's probably a way to filter those out via the interface,
but I haven't learned that yet.
