Lucas answered in the same line and while I'm not really convinced and
would prefer to see this rather in a view I have to agree that the
strategy was successfull in detecting some useless fields in packages.
However, if nobody does a checks I did by chance this would have been
undetected and if instead the importer would detect such things and
refuse to move this to the database it might trigger immediate action.

would like to make sure I've understand things right. (I even was not
aware that there is such a Bugs field ...)
Kind regards
