Trust me, I just did what you wrote.

I get this:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?newest=20

The URL I gave was not related to the recipe I followed but 
I thought you would enjoy it too.

What do you get with this one?

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?newest=10;package=emacs

I definitely get the 10 last Emacs "reports" -- i.e. bugs or updates 
to a bug.
