Hi, users working with Debian woody often do not look at archived bugs when reporting bugs on a package. Therefore it is likely that bugs that have long been fixed in unstable, but will never be in woody will be reported multiple times again.
Therefore on debian-tetex-maint@lists.debian.org it was suggested to keep such bugs open. The "fixed" tag is appropriate for this, I assume. However, for people using unstable it would be nice to point out that the bug doesn't apply to them (and if they find similar behavior, it's a new bug). But is tagging it "woody" conformant with Debian practice? In http://www.de.debian.org/Bugs/Developer it says regarding the tags with distribution names: ,---- | The latter five tags are intended to be used mainly for release | critical bugs, for which it's important to know which distributions | are affected to make sure fixes (or removals) happen in the right | place. `---- Would it still be in order to use the tag woody, now that woody has long been released?
