+That's interesting, indeed, even if I think we are more interested in what 
+bugs are still open rather than in what packages it was present previously.
+
+The main reason for that is that we only have the latests versions in the 
+repositories. Knowing which bugs they don't have anymore seems less important 
+than knowing which bugs they have now, but I may be wrong about this specific 
+user need.
+
+However I keep your suggestion somewhere in my mind :)
