reportbug won't add version numbers to bugreport on sources. So all
reports where without version number and for woody that doesn't make
much sense.
Also there shouldn't be that my differences between potato and woody
in reagrd to build dependencies. So I started of with potato first to
get the system working and until I can include version numbers I won't
report against woody packages.
May the Source be with you.
