Well, packaging/upgrading requests are out-of-scope for standard
triaging [1]. These bugs should be left alone. This point has already
been made previously, BTW.

To make the point clear: do NOT ask developers to mark them confirmed.
Leave these bugs alone -- they are not actually bugs.

Marking them as incomplete, correct? But this is a hammer: people do
state they reproduced the bug on a newer version, but do not update the
affected version...

Better to err on caution, and make this manual.
