Triage them; go through each bug, try to find out if it was fixed and which version it was fixed in. For the definitely fixed bugs, close them with a versioned -done message. For the definitely not fixed bugs, mark them as found in the versions you tested the issue on. For issues that were caused by an incorrect action by the submitter, close them with an unversioned -done message. For other situations, discuss the issues with their submitters and potentially with the rest of the APT team and with the wider Debian community. If no obvious course of action presents itself for a bug and the bug doesn't appear to have value any longer, the last resort is to just close the bug. Some more bug triage tips are on the wiki, and the links in the "Other documentation" section of the page. https://wiki.debian.org/BugTriage -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
