Oops, my bad. It was bound to "\r" previous to debbugs 0.21. I wanted to
change it for better readability, and I've overlooked this trap.

I've decided for (kbd "RET"). Committed locally (the remote ELPA git is
down just now).

I will release debbugs 0.22, including this patch, when I have finished
my work on bug#37168, adding threading to debbugs for better performance.
