This bug isn't caused by the cgi, but by the import script. In
bugs_gatherer.pl (l 218):

my $srcpkg;
if ($bug{package} =~ /^src:(.*)/)
{
	$srcpkg = $1;
} else {
	$srcpkg = exists($pkgsrc{$bug{package}}) ? $pkgsrc{$bug{package}} : $bug{package};
}

For the bug mentioned, the package is "libfuzzy2,libfuzzy-dev". There is no
corresponding source package, so in the database the source package also is
"libfuzzy2,libfuzzy-dev". The package should be split in parts and those parts
should be converted to source packages.

I could try to create a patch, but I don't know where to get the data to do
the test, so I'll leave that to someone else.

If the import is fixed, the cgi probably still won't do the right thing if the
bug is filed against different source packages (or binary packages in
different source packages). I don't know if there are examples like that.

Cheers,

Ivo
