The Debbugs instance maintained by the Debian project allows
‘Control: tags + patch’ to be used for that purpose. But that
seems to be somewhat recent a feature, not yet available from
debbugs.gnu.org.

The purpose of X-Debbugs-CC: is to send a copy of the initial
report with the headers (To:, Subject:) set to reference the bug
number [1]. Why do you want to use that header in follow-ups
(where either To: or Cc: should already point to the bug you
reply to, and thus there’s no need for any additional header
mangling on the part of Debbugs)?

Apart of Control:, the only other pseudo-header I know to work
for Debbugs is Version:, – when the bug is closed via address@hidden
