Hi,

There are a number of cases where the Debian Bug Tracker can become
"confused" or (to many) behave surprisingly.  The most common example
is when a bug in marked as "found" and "fixed" in the same version.

In this case, the BTS silent accepts the values but ignores the
"fixed" version and counts the bug as "unfixed" in that version.
Accordingly, the bug will still count until either the "found" version
or the "fixed" version is removed[1].

I think it would be nice if we had some easy way to get a list of all
bugs where the BTS is (possibly) "confused", so we can easily resolve
those problems.

As mentioned, one type of problem like this is when a bug has a fixed
version equal to a found version.  A second type of issue is the use
of "binNMU" versions in fixed or found versions; I am pretty sure the
BTS does not know of binNMUs, but I have seen people use it in the
past.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels

[1] It is possible that the BTS behaves sensible if you mark a later
version "fixed" as well.  Haven't tried.

Also done. Closing.
