Bug#844059: debbugs: control server should reject fixed versions that do not exist and result in a no-op

Source: debbugs
Severity: normal

Hi,

I naively expected, that the version passed to the "fixed" command is
compared with a greater than or equal comparison. Thus, I indicated that
a bug was fixed in upstream version X while the corresponding upload to
Debian included the Debian revision and was thus version X-1. It seems
that using version X had no effect as far as the bts was concerned and
that only after I specified the actually uploaded version X-1 did the
bts mark all later versions as fixed. I propose to either:

 - let the control server reject the versions that will result in a
   no-op
 - do a version comparison, marking all versions greater than or equal
   to X as fixed

Thanks!

cheers, josch
