I've just managed to reproduce the issue.
What happens is that bug #774628 is found in version "dgit/0.22.1" and
fixed in version "0.30".
Hence, apt-listbugs should consider dgit/0.30 as not buggy.

However, the BTS SOAP interface apparently sends this fixed version
("0.30") as a number (0.3), rather than as a string.
As a consequence, apt-listbugs considers #774628 as fixed in version
0.3 and *then* found again in the later version 0.22.1 : the final
result is that it considers dgit/0.30 as buggy.

The BTS SOAP interface sends this fixed version as the 0.3 number,
rather than as the "0.30" string.
The --debug option of apt-listbugs shows:

I am reassigning your bug report to package debbugs.

Dear debbugs maintainers, could you please look into this issue?
I think the BTS SOAP interface should always treat fixed/found versions
as strings, and never as numbers (even when they look like numbers!).

Please fix this issue, by forcing the SOAP interface to always send
fixed/found versions as strings.

Thanks for your time!
Bye.
