In principle yes.

Could be nice feature but I'd regard this low priority as you said since
most cut-n-pastos are eliminated.

I'm observing Debian Med team QA page[1] regarding these issues daily
since the tests seem to run daily and I squashed some more this morning
which either were not fully fixed or for whatever reason they were
missing on the list or I was not reading the list thoroughly. For the
BioConductor problems I'd regard real problems I've contacted upstream
(and I think I CCed you).

As far as I understand commiting the fix to VCS is really welcome - even
doing a team upload is fine. For those packages I'm Uploader I'd be
really happy about any upload that fixes a problem. :-)
Kind regards
Andreas.
