I cannot find much of a discussion there (maybe I am just a bit sleepy
now...).

Anyway, could you please clarify which bug reports you believe is
incorrectly shown by apt-listbugs?
The three bug reports mentioned in the message you referred to seem to
show up when querying the BTS for bugs affecting the version currently
in stable, testing, and unstable of wpasupplicant:

  $ apt-listbugs list wpasupplicant/2:2.4-1
  Retrieving bug reports... Done
  Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
  grave bugs of wpasupplicant (→ 2:2.4-1) <Outstanding>
   b1 - #849122 - With 2.6-2 i dont have the wifi adapter in the 
(network-manager) list available.
  serious bugs of wpasupplicant (→ 2:2.4-1) <Outstanding>
   b2 - #849077 - wpasupplicant: [Regression] Updating wpasupplicant makes not 
possible to connect to encrypted WiFi
   b3 - #849875 - broadcom-sta-dkms: Wifi association took too long, failing 
activation
  Summary:
   wpasupplicant(3 bugs)

However, they all seem to be found in version 2.6-2 which is now
superseded by versions with epoch 2.
What seems to have happened (see the [tracker page]) is that the
upstream version 2.4 was reintroduced into unstable (with epoch 2) and
then migrated to stretch.

[tracker page]: <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/wpa>

Hence, I would say that those three bugs only affect experimental and
are not in stretch, buster or sid.

Please write to the wpasupplicant maintainers and ask for confirmation
that those three bugs should be marked as found in wpa/2:2.6-2 and not
in wpa/2.6-2 (otherwise the BTS version tracking will continue to
incorrectly think that the bugs affect stable, testing, unstable, and
experimental).

Please let me know whether my guess is correct.
