I had been running unstable, but then something broke in X so that my dual-monitor setup stopped working, and I tried for about six months to get it to work again, and finally gave up, and thought I had purged enough of the unstable system and reinstall it from stable to have my world working again, but apparently I missed something. In this case, it's pretty obvious to me that we're not looking at a bug in reportbug, but a failure on my part to run a clean system (and perhaps more generally in Debian's inability to downgrade the system - meh). I suggest you go ahead and close the bug report; it's not a problem on your end, but on mine. (I don't expect to get it fixed anytime soon without a clean reinstall, so I'll just have to live with the various glitches that arise; it's my own fault for trusting unstable without really knowing what I'm doing (which worked for me for about 8 years without any real glitches).)
