* different users use software differently and thus hit different bugs

* some bugs might be arch specific -- I assume only a few of our
packagers have access to all the archs we support to test their packages
(especially when soon more arch come into the mix, which looks likely)

* some (¹) packagers test (²) a update only on one distribution and
build the software for different distributions -- there is a chance that
a bug happens only on one, but not on the others

(¹) -- I know from some, but assume it are more than just a few

(²) -- I know of some occurrences where packagers only testbuild a
software and just shipped it as a update if the build went fine
