Not sure if there are any limits for the top style but maybe you could
combine the two styles of local variables - maybe:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# -*- foo: (1 2 3 4) -*-
* foo
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
debbugs-org-ids
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
* COMMENT Local variables
** Local Variables:
** eval: (setq debbugs-org-ids foo)
** End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
