Why? Does it affect D2 in any way if D1 bugs are in the bug 
tracker(besides some meaningless stats)?. Just because it is 
offically deprecated and not supported doesn't not imply there is 
no support at all.

So? Then change the version to D1 only.

Focus should be on actually fixing bugs, not some feelgood 
numbers coming out of the bug tracker stats. Besides, I doubt 
there is any real negative impact on D as a result of the bug 
tracker numbers at this stage. Maybe worry about that when 
evidence suggests otherwise.
