Not to mention the lack of specific package versions. For what package
version was some bug posted against?

The most common bug squashing questions today seems to be "what version
are you using? is this still happening in dapper"?

Today, we count on bug posting date to 'guess' the version a software
had when the bug was opened, or, if we are lucky, the original poster
wrote it.

Malone already says what is the most current version of a package. It
could just ask what version was used when someone open a bug.
