There was a second bug filed (916642) which has seen action. So is there
anything missing from there with respect to this list? Also this bug is
rather old to fix "out-of-date" issues, so I think it should be closed.

Also quoting from that bug:
* We (the release team) generally try to rebuild packages with outdated
built-using before the release.
