Did I read this wrong?
It is impossible to query bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu for the bugs
on specific package version?

I probably misunderstood the above.
However, I need bugs against the specific package version for bug
regression reporting / monitoring.

Bugs against a specific ubuntu release is not useful at all.
For example a netbook installed as hardy will have many package
version updates to address bugs and backports.

Each ubuntu release starts as experimental, and is alpha or unstable
for a time, as bugs are addressed and features integrated the release
is suitable for testing. Finally the release is stabilized through
continued bug fixes and backports.

What does tracking bugs against a particular ubuntu release mean?
