Following the BTS, it reads:

I oversaw, that it was changed for sarge, etch and sid.

$oldstable is no longer supported, right? So this means, I could close
those bugs?

... and the bug closed, when it is already solved or not longer
reproducible in >= Sarge?
The reason, why I ask: I have 2 bugs open in a package and both only
