Bug#592117: debbugsconfig fails due to missing /etc/debbugs/indices/ directory

Package: debbugs
Version: 2.4.2~exp1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi there,  I rebuilt the packages from experimental on my testing system, but
it looks like this problem may exist in previous versions as well.  We doing a
fresh install of debbugs and running debbugsconfig for the first time, it dies
while trying to copy the /usr/share/doc/debbugs/examples/sources file to
/etc/debbugs/indices/ since that directory does not exist.  This stops
debbugsconfig from running to completion.
