In the beginning, debbugs-gnu retrieved only up to 500 bugs, and showed
them. The user could ask for the next (up to 500) bugs afterwards, and
so on.

Today, debbugs-gnu knows how many bugs to retrieve at all. It raises
several soap-invoke-async requests in parallel, every call limited to
500 bugs. The results of the calls will be merged and shown - thats what
you see as long list.

Best regards, Michael.
