If you send it to @debbugs.gnu.org, then it won't pay attention to the subject and will not generate a new bug-number for it. OTOH if you send an email to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org or submit@debbugs.gnu.org, this is usually presumed to be a new bug report, and the subject is checked for some common patterns to catch common mistakes.
