I agree, debbugs-gnu-trunk-directory and debbugs-gnu-branch-directory
should be user options. Will change.
debbugs-gnu-current-directory is the internal working horse, not needed
to be exposed outside.
In debbugs-gnu-apply-patch, it will be checked already whether this is
set properly. If not, the directory name is requested
interactively. Shall be done in other functions as well; I'll change
this.

I have already plans to extend debbugs-gnu-bugs and debbugs-org-bugs.
Currently, they allow only list of bug numbers, like "100,200,300" etc.
I want to allow also ranges, like "100-200,300-400" and so on. A special
range "-10" could mean then "the last 10 bugs". This shall fit your needs.
Will do both next days as time permits.
