Debian bug report logs - summary index

This summary index briefly lists bugs submitted to debian-bugs but not
yet marked as done, or as forwarded to an upstream author. There is also
a summary sorted by package and a more verbose index which lists bugs
recently marked as done, gives more summary information about each bug
report, and contains links to other useful Debian pages. The files here
are checked every 30 minutes (last update 20:43:02 GMT Mon 06 Nov).
