Restrict your search for open bugs to "D2" and "D1 & D2" and you'll be fine.

I never thought to do that as I have just gone by the "Bug Tracker" graphic on the website up until now. Interesting idea. Here is a chart comparing how the number of open bugs changes when those two filters are applied to the "Bug Tracker" queries.
                         Before   After
Regression               9        9
Blocker                  17       17
Critical                 69       63
Major                    221      206
Normal, minor, trivial   1923     1420
Enhancement              1153     866
All Open                 3392     2586

That large of a difference surprised me. Seems like it would help with the impression of quality to someone first coming to the site by displaying the data filtered for D2 instead. It also seems more accurate since the D1 only stuff is not really being worked on and that page presents sort of a TODO list.
