Hi, While I can imagine that package version information regards what versions the bug appears in is useful to somebody, what I would find really useful is the version of Debian (or the codename) in which the bug was found or fixed. In the interest of reducing clutter I'd be happy to see the package version information entirely replaced with Debian release version information. (Others may disagree.) Thanks for the work. Regards, Karl
That's why I currently include them both in the version graph. I assume that's what we're talking about here. The found/fixed is the values that the bug is actually set to. Whether those versions correspond to a particular version changes over time. Now, it might be nice to have a little table which told you whether a bug was was present, fixed, or absent in a suite of Debian releases... but I don't think that's what you're asking for.
Well, not necessarily. There's also the textual "headings"
at the top.
the clutter and tells me if the problem is fixed in
the version of Debian that I'm running. Whatever works.
(Are there really so many Debian versions that a table is
called for?)

Control: retitle -1 create table showing bug status in different Debian releases in bugreport.cgi OK. There are five.
