Sometimes, it is not possible to tell just were a problem lies.  What do
we do with the Package: field in this case?

Please, whoever does this, make it one message.  I only have two oustanding
bug reports (one of which need to be marked as done), but some of us (I'm
thinking of Ian M. or prehaps Bruce) are maintaining so many packages, that
they would get buried alive under the flood of e-mail if each bug were to
generate a seperate message.
