s/he needs/they need/

Other than that, I don't really have an opinion, but at the very least
we don't *have* to propagate debbugs, given that users who want to use
that probably already have it.  As for why I don't really have an
opinion: I don't know how central the existing propagations are towards
the working of emacs-piem.

That being said, we could always make those inputs regular (which might
be helpful for byte/native-compilation).

Cheers
