Basically the debbugs server would need its own domain name, with
slightly different MTA configuration and its own apache configuration
to be useful.

The way we've done this in Debian is to have a debbugs user which all
of the debbugs stuff runs as, and separate logins for the people who
would need to log in who have sudo access to that user. [This user
also owns the apache config file that it uses too.]

But I'm flexible; the login will just enable me to roll out upgrades
to debbugs without having to harass anyone.

And what about SHAREHOLDER VALUE?
