I have the impression that apt-listbugs on sarge always displays
completely irrelevant bugs. For example, when I installed udev on a new
machine recently, it displayed a lot of RC bugs which do not exist if
you use sarge's udev with sarge's kernels. In this particular case it
was interesting to learn how the upstream and Debian maintainers of udev
think about stability, but that's not the purpose of apt-listbugs, I
guess.
