Hi,

looking at xfmpc bug page (http://bugs.debian.org/xfmpc) it stumbled
upon #555886 which is a bug against binutils-gold, affecting xfpmc. The
way it appears on xfpmc bug page makes it hard to know that the bug
itself doesn't lie in xfpmc but in binutils.

It's nice to have the bug appearing in the bug page, so people might not
reopen yet another bug, but it'd be nice if those bugs could be put on a
separate section like “Bug affecting this package”.

Many thanks for your work.

Cheers,

It's easy, actually...

 * #555886 [w| |☺↝☣] [binutils-gold] <-- this bit tells you what
package it was assigned to.

It's quite possible to have bugs in lots of packages present in a
page, and the only way to tell is by looking at bit in brackets where
the package is listed.

This is a possibility, but if you don't want to see them, you can
exclude them with noaffects=yes. [Well, you will once I merge a fix to
a small bug, anyway.]
