Right. This in fact is one and the same bug, but cloned, showing in
packagesearch and apt-file bug records. When it gets closed it does that for
both packages. FWIW, you are not blocked to resolve that bug in packagesearch
by that apt-file bug (this is simply not a packagesearch bug), and you don't
need to specify in which version of packagesearch this bug is fixed, since
the bug is clearly an apt-file's bug.
If you use a simple reassing the bug will not be shown for packagesearch, but
apt-file only. But IIRC you want it to be shown for both packages.
