No. For each bug, you will have to check the stable and unstable versions for this bug, with the "Version" field of the report being a hint on how to reproduce easily. If the bug appears in multiple dists, clone it, tag the bugs appropriately and prepare multiple patched versions closing the bug in the changelog. The bug against stable will remain open until the package is included in a point release, so users will still see it. Simon -- GPG Fingerprint: 040E B5F7 84F1 4FBC CEAD ADC6 18A0 CC8D 5706 A4B4
