It would be possible to separate out bugs that are fixed on one arch,
but unfixed on others when viewing a particular distribution; the only
thing that people have to be aware of is that it doesn't necessarily
mean that those bugs will be fixed automatically... but presumably
FTBFS bugs will be filed if they don't.
It may also be more useful to indicate whether a bug is actually fixed
in a set of distributions/archs with some sort of summary field
instead of relying on the categorization to do that... I'll try to
think about it over some beer later on today.
