I tend to disagree. First of all, strictly speaking, there’s no
easy way for the user to tell if the problem is specific to
Debian or not, except for building a version of Emacs directly
from the GNU sources, – and at least /some/ of the Emacs users
wouldn’t go through the trouble.
Also (to state the obvious), as it’s the state of the /Debian
packages/ that Debian BTS tracks, it’s easier to determine if an
upgrade would resolve any particular issue by looking there,
rather than at the upstream BTS.

Indeed, that could be improved. However, anyone’s free to bring
an issue of their choice to the attention of the upstream
developers, so that’s just the matter of paying some attention
to the task. Perhaps Debian would benefit from reminding the
users to take these steps on their own (as part of the BTS
acknowledgment message, for instance), but it seem otherwise an
obvious thing for an (experienced) user to do, anyway.
