 I'm a bit confused by this. The tracker information now says:
 
 CVE-2007-4650 (Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Gallery before 2.2.3 
 allow ...)
 {DSA-1404-1}
 - gallery2 2.2.3-1
 [etch] - gallery2 unfixed (bug #441407)

Suite-specific unfixed entries should not be used for the exact reason
Francesco reported: The suited-specific tag overlays the general entry
set by the DSA/list data. It's also not necessary here, since 
- gallery2 2.2.3-1 marks all older versions implicitly as unfixed.

The few cornercases where suite-specific unfixed entries are useful are
cases, where a source package has been renamed and is no longer present
in unstable.

Since it's not obvious it should be added to the Tracker docs (unless it
exists already)

Cheers,
Moritz
