Mmm, I wouldn't go that far. Closing them with a message that the packages are no longer in Debian seems to be the desired behaviour here... > Basically, there should be no reason to close any of the bug reports, as > version tracking should be able to find out by its own that the package > is gone. I don't know if that works. I'm not convinced that bugs should disappear just because the package they're filed against is removed from the archive; that would be a bad thing both for libraries that get their soname bumped and for kernel packages, I'd think.
