Umm, the key thing isn't the filing of the bugs, it's the uploading of
the fixed packages.
Are you commiting yourself to doing 1000 or 5000 (we don't have 10000
packages afterall) NMUs, and taking care to make sure that you fix any
problems you accidently introduce due to the compilation environment
(libc, gcc, debhelper, etc) changing since it was last compiled, or
anything else?
Cluttering up the BTS, and especially the RC bug list, with bugs that no
one cares enough about to fix is just an inconvenience, not something
really useful.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
