Yeah, I'm aware of the issue, and unfortunately, the solution is quite
complicated and involves larger changes to the way bugs are served by
the BTS.
However, these changes *are* in progress, and eventually they should be
fixed.
I've fixed a few of the lower hanging fruit, but src:linux keeps
breaking as new bugs are filed and the archive itself gets larger. I'll
try to fix a few more as I get a chance.
While you're waiting for me to do that,
https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=linux works, and
I will try to keep it working. I haven't advertised this widely because
I will likely break it from time to time (and the interface will
definitely change).
