thanks for your hawk eyes.  these inconsistencies occur from time to
time (especially since the data is entered by humans and we are
certainly not infallable).  i don't mind making the necessary fixes, so
please keep reporting.

for example, the issues with DSA-1721 were not presented correctly
because lenny shipped with a fixed version to begin with (that was
older than the unstable version as entered into the tracker).

DSA-1724 was marked as unimportant, but since there was a DSA, this
original categorization was obviously wrong.

the other issues had not been updated correctly because they occured
about the same time that squeeze came out, and so the squeeze-specific
tags were not entered.

thanks again for the reports.  the problems should be fixed now.  please
continue to send em in.  accuracy is important.

best wishes,
mike
