Another interesting thing is that we didn't archive bugs back then, so
that bug was purged from the db when it was fixed, and Neal's comments
about the value of the BTS as a historical record and stuff were amoung
the incentives for setting up the BTS to archive all old bugs. We
managed to find several old mirrors of the BTS website and import #6518
and other bugs from them, too. So, http://bugs.debian.org/6518 works
again.
