I switched the default to appending dist=untable because it actually
tells you which bugs affect unstable; it's far more informative than
merely categorizing based on whether a bug has been closed. If you
know you want something else, you really should be using the precise
url that you want.

You should be hard pressed to be able to actually install packages
before the BTS has learned about the version unless you're filing bugs
on packages which you've built yourself. [Far more likely that the
version the bug is filed against is wrong.]
