Our bug tracker contains items for packages, which do (not longer) exist. What should happen to them? I see, that it might be a good idea to keep them for the case, a package is re-introduced. But this might happen only for a few packages. Most of them got removed because newer versions were released. What about closing those reports, if an RM-request is filed?ftpmaster already close bugs automatically when processing RM requests.
Not always. IIRC we only close bugs on removal if: a) BTS is up and running. b) source and binary are removed. c) The package is removed from unstable.d) The removed package is on sync on all arches. (Because otherwise we won't know with which version we'd like to close the bug.)
d) also affects binNMUed packages. Best regards, Alexander
