Although I understand your reasons, I'm not convinced that this is worth
the trouble. The manuals exist for 13 years (debbugs.texi) and 10 years
(debbugs-ug.texi). It night confuse prople, if we rename them.

Furthermore, there are references to both manuals from outside. Those
references would be broken.
