My solution is also have a layered architecture: (i) a separate package
with generic SOAP client library; (ii) a separate package with
debbugs-soap.el as backend; (iii) debian-bts mode as a frontend. One of
my initial design consideration was to allow custom
frontends. debbugs-soap.el backend is very small library. It only
performs the requests to Debbugs server such as: get_bugs, get_status,
get_versions, get_bug_log, etc. All mbox functionality currently
implemented in frontend. I think it's a good idea to move it into
backend as alternative (to SOAP) method of receiving logs from server.

This library appeared at the same time with my library. I was going to
prepare my soap-client.el for Emacs but someone is way faster than
me. :) Well, I will help soap-client.el from 'trunk' with patches. :)

Is your project published somewhere?
