It's up to you, guys.  If the bugs are known and being fixed, there's
little point filling them in in BTS which would only gain us overhead
of filling in and closing bugs.  I only wanted to give us all more time
and avoid having broken packages in Sarge/testing.

Actually the thing that triggered me filling that bug was report that
firebird was running as root.  If this were true it would be a major
and completly unnecessary security threat.

This was was the first reason but it was, of course, in addition to
increased list traffic with problem reports.

I don't want to play a gatekeeper here.  When it's agreed the packages
are ready - we simply lower the serverity or close the bug.
