These mightn't be all the relevant bugs, but they should be a good
proportion of them. Not all of them need to be fixed for woody (there
are some hurd specific ones, eg, and there are others for which the
version in testing (as opposed to unstable) is releasable) but it's
probably worth looking at all of them anyway. Some of them might be
worth downgrading.
It's also probably worth looking at some lintian errors and some
"important" bugs, but the above bugs are the most important, generally
speaking.
For those who're willing to poke around a bit, I'm generating the lists
of bugs and packages from stuff in auric:~ajt/basebugs/.
Cheers,
aj
