So, you got the way to go. Please go ahead and submit those 6229 bugs. Providing a patch *is* an alternative method. We did the same sort of wishlish bug mass filling with the transition from raw debconf to po-debconf. We had less packages to bug, though. It represents an insane amount of work, but it's the way to go, I guess. What's useless is to fill the bug without the patches, but if you write the watch file for the people, nobody should complain. Good luck, Mt.
