I agree it could be helpful.  Just a minor workaround while waiting a
fix. :-)

For complex thread, what I do (when I do not use the Emacs front-end of
Debbugs :-)) is to read them using a Web frontend of some public-inbox
instance.  For instance,

 1. I click to the icon download [1],
 2. search Message-ID (here line 43),
 3. copy/stash it (here 87fulrsqxx.fsf@gnu.org),
 4. paste it to the navigation bar appending the public-inbox URL (here
 https://yhetil.org/guix/).

Last, I am usually interested by the thread overview so I add ’/#r’ to
the URL, as in [2].
