Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20080407
Severity: minor

There appears to be no way to link to a DSA page without knowing in
which year the DSA was published.  Could you please set up a rewrite
rule such that http://security.debian.org/dsa/1234-1 links to the right
place?  This is valuable for people who want to create bookmarklets or
wiki links to DSA notices.

I would tag this as "Severity: wishlist" if it wasn't security-related;
the usability and convenience standards should be higher for security
facilities, and thus I feel a "Severity: minor" (or higher) is
warranted.

Thanks for caring.

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.  Well, maybe not.

We just configured a permanent redirect from /security/dsa-<number> [1] to 
/security/<year>/dsa-<number> [2].
