10 I only started fixing summaries to include valid, canonical
11 cat/pkg[-ver] strings a few years ago because searching for a full

14 Before that it was mayhem, and it's mainly the older bugs you appear be
15 worried about. Having a list of bugs to fix the cat/pkg for would have
16 more uses than the one you're interested in.
