I didn't think the purpose or use of the Version field was unclear.  
I've never looked it up in any guide, but to me it's obvious: fill in  
the version of MacPorts you were using when you experienced the bug.  
Doesn't matter what kind of bug it is. If it's irrelevant for a  
particular bug, fine, but I always prefer too much information to too  
little information. And if guidelines for the use of this field are  
to be written, they shouldn't read "Fill in the version of MacPorts  
if it's relevant" because we can't expect the user to know if it's  
relevant.
