The proper solution to this is probably to link up dinstall's knowledge
of what bugs were fixed in what update, and which updates are installed
in which distributions with the BTS knowledge of which bugs were reported
against which versions of the package. It's then fairly easy to make a
bunch of bug pages that report the current condition of stable or unstable
or whatever.
Darren Benham's currently working on moving the BTS to be based on
debbugs.deb, so hopefully we'll be able to start getting features and
stuff added to it again.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
