Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

distutils bugs follow standard Python rules: They are fixed in stable and 
development branches, now 2.7, 3.1 and py3k.  If there is a security hazard, 
the fix would go into 2.6 and possibly 2.5 too.

distutils2 has to work with 2.4-2.7 and (soon) 3.1-3.2, so Tarek told me to set 
all available versions for those bugs (2.5-py3k), even if I think “3rd party” 
is more appropriate and useful (since a distutils2 bug would not for example 
block a CPython 3.2 release).

When a bug applies to distutils and distutils2, I prefer to set only versions 
relevant for distutils.  distutils2 has only one branch which is tested with 
all supported Python version, and I actually consider distutils2 a version of 
distutils: It makes more sense to me to think “this bug exists in CPython 3.1, 
3.2 and distutils2”.
