The version had already been replaced, I thought one could not report
bug against a non-updated version of a package...

Anyway I got confused by the documentation:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing
-> http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#pseudoheader

Which state:

Replace <packageversion> with the version of the package. Please don't
include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug
tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are
affected by the bug.

I was afraid that any added free form text would break the system. I
use reportbug for reporting bug, what tool can I use for this kind of
task ?
