I don't know who wrote that url, but presumably what they were
actually looking for was
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=debian-boot@lists.debian.org;include=tags:alpha

It actually will have to be entirely new html documentation, ideally
written in wml against the web pages, which you can see in the webwml
CVS repository for the Debian website. The documentation in 2 is
really outdated, and I haven't been keeping it up to date.

This is the right query; there was a bug which I've fixed in my source
copy, which will be fixed when I next merge my changes.

Nope.

I'm not sure what the deal is with this; I'd have to look more
carefully.

That's because the alpha tag is a user tag, and the url doesn't
include the users= option any more. I need to fix this, but I haven't
had a chance yet; cloned out as a sepearate bug.
