That is precisely the most sensitive thing to be doing.

You seem to have completely missed my point.

Debian are going to be _very upset_ if you arrange for Launchpad to
send bug submission mails to the Debian BTS without getting a
go-ahead from Debian.  The fact that you're doing it on behalf of some
user and putting their name in the From: doesn't help address that.
