I think there is some value in keeping the full logs for closed bug reports (where the bug has been fixed), in case this information is needed in the future. Would it use a lot of disk space? I suspect not but I am guessing. In the case of libc4, these bugs were closed because the package is no longer maintained. I think there may be value in keeping these bug reports, because that functionality no longer exists in Debian (but could be revived in the future). Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.
