Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: important
Some time in the past year or so, the display on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=pam&dist=unstable&pend-exc=done&repeatmerged=0
regressed. There are a large number of bugs that are listed as 'From other
Branch' which certainly are not. Some of them are present in unstable and
documented as such:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=314699
pam: pam_unix's pam_sm_acct_mgmt return values don't jive w/ what the pam
docs say
Found in version 0.76-22
Some of them have no version numbers associated, so should be treated as
present in all versions:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353086
bad delay implementation
And some are fixed in unstable and shouldn't show up at all in the 'unstable'
view:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519927
pam-auth-update does not prohibit selecting an empty set of modules
Found in version 1.0.1-9
Fixed in version pam/1.0.1-10
This is inconvenient, to say the least.

All of these bugs are assigned to the pam binary package, which
doesn't exist. Instead, they should be assigned to the pam source
package. [reassign nnn src:pam, would do it, but I'm not going to do
that myself, because it would require me to muck with all of the
versioning for these bugs.]
Because it's not worth the labor to deal with reassigning all of these
bugs, I've just worked up a patch which will continue to support bugs
assigned to the a non-existant binary package when there is a source
package with the same name, and it's now deployed.
