First we have:
>  smpeg (0.4.5+cvs20030824-2.1) unstable; urgency=low
>  .
>    * Non-maintainer upload.
>    * Build with a 2 line patch to not need an executable stack.
>      Closes: #445595
>      For background see:
>      http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/08/11/executable-stacks-lenny/

Which got a bug filed:
http://bugs.debian.org/496549

It failed to build on arm because of mmx problems.


And then we get:
>  smpeg (0.4.5+cvs20030824-2.2) unstable; urgency=high
>  .
>    * Non-maintainer upload.
>    * Build with a 2 line patch to not need an executable stack, new version of
>      the patch to use the latest version of progbits.
>      Closes: #445595

The previous changelog is missing, causing confusion for the BTS.  It
now thinks that -2.1 never existed, so this bug doesn't apply to anything.

But the changelog doesn't mention fixing anything related to it,
and it now seems to be fixed.  You also had a blog post about mxx
things.  So I wonder if that is related or not.

Do you know if:
- The version in testing (0.4.5+cvs20030824-2) also has this problem?
  If so, can you mark the bug as found there?
- Did you fix this in -2.2?  If so, can you close the bug with the right
  version?
