Should scheduling host downtime schedule downtime for services (nagios 2.0b4)

If I understand you correctly, the result is the expected one: Scheduled 
host downtime results in a scheduled downtime in the availability 
report. For the services of this host, the same happens: They are 
calculated as "scheduled warning" , "sched. unk." or "critical". Looks 
bad in the report to a customer, but it represents what actually 
happens, I think.

One side-note: Using 2.0b4, I get (kind of) funny output from the 
service availability report (slightly edited, TAB-formatted):

State	Type / Reason	Time	   % Total Time	% Known Time
OK	Unscheduled	0d 7h 55m 21s	17.002%	17.002%
	Scheduled	0d 11h 56m 32s	25.629%	25.629%

CRITIC.	Unscheduled	0d 0h 0m 0s	0.000%	0.000%

	Insuff. Data	0d 0h 0m 0s	0.000%	
	Total		0d 0h 0m 0s	0.000%	
All	Total		1d 22h 35m 50s	100.00%	100.000%

Do you notice the -35% in column "Percent total time", row "Warning / 
unsched."?

Can someone else verify this (keep in mind this is a host with lots of 
scheduled downtimes!), or is this even a known bug which I overlooked?
