I'm currently working on a tool that automatically fetches all bug reports belonging to one package. The base url is http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/ and I always thought that the subdirectories were designed so that only up to 999 files go into a single directory. But today, I noticed that this assumption seems to be wrong when trying to download the page for e.g. Bug#8429. It's not in /8/ but /84/. So, the directory is only determined by the leading 2 digits? If so, what will happen when our bugs reach 6 digit numbers (Currently, the number of bug reports seems to grow exponentially...). Putting 10000-1 files into a single directory doesn't sound very wise to me...
