Nope; let me give an example which will make it clearer. At some point
in the future, it will look something like this:
{fixed_versions => ['1.0.1','1.0.2'],
found_versions => ['1.0.0','1.0.1.1'],
fixed => {'1.0.1' => 1255560307,
'1.0.2' => 1255560321,
},
found => {'1.0.0' => 1255560137,
'1.0.1.1' => 420620400,
},
...
}

id is superfluous; the fixed, fixed_date, found and found_date all go
together. [found_date contains the values for the keys in the found
array, same for fixed_date and fixed.]

It'd be ideal if you could work that into a writeup which was a patch
to the documentation of Debbugs::Status::get_bug_status and possibly
also the pod for Debbugs::SOAP.
