c). If you also fix it for FE3 and FE4.

If someone with an older version encounters this bug on FE3/4, he will - 
hopefully - first update his package and not first go to Bugzilla and 
query for this bug. :-) And if he really does, you can mark the bug as a 
duplicate of 'current' bug in Bugzilla and close it with CURRENTRELEASE.

My 2 cent. At least I would do it this way.
