There's an idiot mass-closing old unfixed bugs

Hi again,

For example, how to make the following bug active for Lubuntu Xenial?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/966480

'The prompt asking for media removal is not shown at the end of the 
installation'

I think 'the splash screen' cannot show the text. When booted without 
the boot option 'splash' I can see the prompt.

Or should I create another bug report?

Best regards
Nio
