No problem.  First, afaik none of this is specific to the Perl team.  The
search term to find out more about it is "Debian BTS version tracking" -
there's a reasonably old (but still valid) wiki page tutorial:

http://wiki.debian.org/HowtoUseBTS#Version_tracking

Also useful are the definitions of the release tags:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags

The BTS shows which suites are affected by a bug using the coloured graph
in the top-right - the tags can affect this graph, but just because a bug
is tagged "wheezy" doesn't mean the BTS thinks it affects wheezy.

Given libembperl-perl is currently not in testing, should we keep the

I think in this instance those tags should not have been necessary,
since 2.3.0-2 is not in squeeze.  Hmm.  That's odd, because I think in July
I was looking at lists of bugs marked as affecting stable.  Apologies for
any confusion, here. :(

The tags don't hurt, though, and there's no need to hunt down and remove
extra wheezy tags - the BTS knows that the bug doesn't really affect wheezy.
