The Launchpad model is that where a bug also exists in Debian, you can 
link the Ubuntu bug report to the equivalent Debian bug report. Then if 
the bug is fixed in Debian first, Launchpad will notify you.

That way you don't have to trawl through a list of bugs fixed in 
Debian. On the other hand, you do have to link Ubuntu bugs to their 
equivalent Debian bugs in the first place.
