The package tracker can work in the same way as the ISO tracker already; you can add new builds per package at least manually. The problematic part with this are packages that are shared; you can only have one way with one package. In my opinion, if we want non-full-cycle builds, then the builds would have to update automatically and happen only when packages are actually updated. I don't think there is code that could do this currently. Instead of trying to change how the builds work, another option would be adjusting how the current data is laid out. I could see that a "version" field in the reporting form could get us to similar results as with fiddling with builds if that field was somehow shown in the reported bugs list. This would obviously need new code too, but updates to the bug list have been planned for a long time - this is easily done with those changes.
