My rule of thumb is that I do not file bugs when the same problem appears in many packages, since this is likely not a bug in the independent packages. I know next to nothing about haskell packages, so i might be mistaken here. Also sometimes i'm lazy and i assume that filing a bug against a package will get attention, and someone will investigate and reassign to the correct package. > a suggestion: is there a chance that your tool can also close these bugs > once the problem has disappeared? then these temporary problems do not > require additional work on the maintainer side? I check for obsolete bugs (bugs I filed that are still open while the package now builds) from time to time, but it's a manual process.
