Well, the BTS is inconsistent then. Because it lists all sources packages
here but the bug did not show up in the list of bugs affected against the
"ffmpeg" source package, which is what got reported to us in the first
place.
And as I said, the individual bug page also doesn't show up all sources
packages. So should I use "source" as a base and then restrict to the set
of source packages available in "found_versions" (if any)?
