"cupsys" renamed to "cups": bogus vulnerabilities!



Hi everybody,
I see from the list archive that the CUPS renaming got the attention it
deserves.  Unfortunately, it seems that the security tracker now lists
several old vulnerabilities as fixed in package cups, but unfixed in
package cupsys:
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/source-package/cupsys
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/status/release/unstable
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/status/release/testing
http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/status/release/stable

This seems to be wrong, since many of these vulnerabilities were
actually fixed long ago (e.g.: CVE-2002-1384) or do not affect Debian
(e.g.: CVE-2001-1508).

Should the status of these vulnerabilities w.r.t. cups be copied to
their status w.r.t. cupsys?
I mean, for instance, CVE-2002-1384 is marked as fixed in unstable
cups/1.1.18-1, but unfixed in unstable cupsys: I think it should be
marked as fixed in unstable in both cups/1.1.18-1 and
cupsys/1.1.18-1 ...
I see that it was marked as "cupsys <removed>" in the SVN repository
data/CVE/list, but this measure does not seem to work.

P.S.: Please Cc: me on replies, as I am not a list subscriber.  Thanks.
