Though the BTS actually has that information available (and uses it to handle archiving) the huristics of figuring out whether a user is reporting a bug against a version in testing which has recently been uploaded or merely recently been upgraded or the version in unstable which has recently been uploaded or merely recently upgraded to the version in stable which has recently been uploaded or ugpraded to or the version in any of the architectures which has just been installed or a version which has no relationship to the versions we distribute at all but the user happens to have installed you clearly must be a massochist to have read this sentence to this point continue on to the next paragraph already. So yeah, kind of not possible to do in a reasonable fashion without ESP (and if you've got that working, I know of many bugs that could use it first.)
