But not separate data for unstable+testing.

Also, there is no way to get a graph for a package limited to reports
for stable or unstable+testing.

Also, there is no graph of the total number of reporters who are using
a given release. "Statistics per popularity-contest releases" is almost
that, but not really.

Those are the things I would find useful in the website.

Hmm, it seems to me it would be easier to throw out the odd report with
an unknown suite name than to maintain a mapping from
popularity-contest package version to suite, especially since there
are periods in time when a given popularity-contest version can be in
both testing and stable. But I suppose I don't know your business.
