We are using the bugzilla package taken from debian/stable, so I guess
that is not untypical and we are surely not the only project that is
affected by this bug?

Quick research shows that bugzilla 4 has this commit:
http://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/4.0/revision/6940/Bugzilla/CGI.pm
I guess that using bugidtype should be just fine, but to be safe, you
can also add a version switch.

Cheers.
