I think I'll have a bit of spare time tomorrow, if you'd like me to start forwarding the relevant debian reports. Would it be worth tagging them with something like "debbugs-needing-review" so we can keep track of which ones have been looked over?
Using a temporary tag in Inkscape's bug tracker for the forwarded reports seems a good idea to me.
Could you start with the most recent reports (against 0.47 or 0.48) which haven't been forwarded yet?
AFAICT there are several very old ones (reported against 0.45 or even earlier) which are likely to be no longer relevant in current versions (0.47 and 0.48). These old reports IMHO only make sense to be forwarded if they are confirmed with the current version, too.
As an example: in older Inkscape versions PS/EPS import was calling pstoedit, but since 0.47 Inkscape uses ps2pdf from Ghostscript instead. Old Debian bug reports about failing EPS import due to problems with pstoedit don't have to forwarded upstream IMHO, but could be closed in the debian tracker instead.
I start working on a list with this type of reports and will add it here (hopefully later today).
