Yes, the way these are reported multiplies the number. Every distribution that patches the same program gets a separate mention. Not that this is a bad thing, if you have one distribution you are following, which is probably most admins. But the general reader (like me) loses track over the weeks because the same bug shows up many times. I think the way it is is the better way, better to be complaining about seeing some issue, then to miss it.
