debbugs-gnu supports already the forcemerge control. It could check
whether one of the involved bugs is archived, and unarchive it first.

Or unarchive all involved bugs without a check, before requesting
forcemerge. This would be a null operation for not archived bugs, but
this doesn't harm I believe. To be tested.
