Ah, bugs imports have been failing for a few days, with this error message:

Environmental variable DEBBUGS_CONFIG_FILE set, and /org/bugs.debian.org/etc/config is not owned by the user
running this script. at /org/udd.debian.org/mirrors/bugs.debian.org/perl/Debbugs/Config.pm line 111.

debian-debbugs@, what's the reason for the change that introduced that check? It's not
trivial to work around that in UDD because:
- DSA does the mirroring for us, so files are owned by 'debbugs-mirror', not 'udd'
- we use the perl modules from the mirror (we don't have our own copy)

How do you recommend we fix this?
