It won't call the bug script (that's fixable; we can add a bug script to the meta package that exec's the one in the image package); 2. It won't show the extra related packages listed in the image package's bug control file; 3. It will still use the version number from the meta package (this is the killer). Therefore I have instead added a presubj file which directs users to report against the corresponding image package.
