It is useful to track these bugs, especially when there are folks using
potato who might encounter them. The open bug provides a place for patches,
workarounds, etc. and also can indicate whether the bug is fixed in
unstable. This information can allow the user to fix the problem by
patching or upgrading.
Bugs tagged 'potato' should naturally be closed when woody is released.
