On http://debbugs.gnu.org/server-control.html it is documented that with
  forcemerge N1 N2

N1 will become the master bug.  Apparently that is not the same with
  merge N1 N2

No; wait.

When I look at http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=automake
then it shows 7333 not 7345.
When I look at
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=automake;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1
then it shows 7345 not 7333.  The latter is linked from the main debbugs
page, the former is redirected from http://debbugs.gnu.org/automake

It seems the bug-rev=1 is the cause here.  This looks like a debbugs bug
to me.  Where should I report it?

Thanks,
Ralf
