Previously, the Debian provider would drop records where upstream data indicated a package was fixed at "version 0", since these records could never result in a vulnerability match in grype. However, this left downstream providers unable to distinguish between a "search miss" (upstream data has no mention of this CVE/package/distro version tuple) and an explicit indication of "not affected" (Debian maintainers believe this CVE/package/distro version tuple is not affected). Instead, forward the idea of "fixed at version 0" into the results, so that downstream consumers can distinguish between a search miss and a package that maintainers believe is not affected.
