In reading an old edition of the Debian Weekly News, I found something of
interest, followed a link, and ultimately did as you did (with another
reference number undoubtably, but the same result.) The topic/problem
was not something which affected me upon first reading about it, but
later research into the topic was thwarted by mailing list archives that
talked of Bug Number 123 but no ability to look at Bug Number 123.
If the mailing lists are archived, why not the BTS?

And that there are also others who have experienced additional related
problems.
