Perhaps this is because of the missing mipsel package according to

   http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=phylip

OK, that might make sense.  I did not noticed this functionality because
a bug was archived once it was marked done for 28 days.  I agree that it
makes sense to keep it as long as the package did not reached testing.

Makes sense and is explained in the text - but I admit not in the controling
tag fields - this should be fixed now.

Same as for phylip.  Mips and mipsel seems to prevent the propagation of
several packages.  Thanks for enlighten me for the reasons why these bugs
remain.  I think I do now understand the graphs better.

This is definitely helpful.

I did not yet managed to sort out the rationale behind these graphs -
even if I have to admit now that it is really not that hard to understand.
So thanks for the fine work on debbugs again
