Some of the version numbering information on Debian packages is not being displayed when echoed by one of Debian's bots. It happens in the #debian-devel-changes channel on irc.debian.org.

I have attached two screenshots to illustrate the issue.

This is almost certainly a bug in telepathy-idle's "bling removal" code[0], i.e. the numbers are erroneously interpreted as part of the color codes. telepathy-idle is hosted on freedesktop.org, so closing as NOTGNOME - I'll keep this issue in mind the next time I have some spare cycles though, looks like a fun bug to fix :-)
