I think it would be nice to have a way to search for bugs that had
been closed and reappeared. E.g. a bug is closed in NMU but not
acknoweldged in the maintainer upload. For the BTS this would be a bug
closed in some branch that doesn't include the current version.
Call that "fixed in <ver>,<ver>" if you like.
