It's beyond what I'd want to maintain manually to include version
numbers of all relevant patches. The short of it is that there should
only be one non-"superceded" bug relevant for each.

In fact, I will remove the superceded packages from the listing as it is
true that they obscure the useful parts of the list to some extent.

If you look at the bottom of that bug it gives a link to the new bug on
which work on packages are currently being done:
