However, I'm sure there were packages that > didn't have bugs filed like that. the main issue is that we need to have tracking in place that doesnt require people do anything. because people dont do what they should. I see it all the time when dealing with mass rebuilds etc people do one or 2 of the steps to remove a package, but quite often do not do all 3. We do have plans to redo it to make it a single step. the more we can automate the tracking of it the better we will nknow the full extent of where things are. if we can cut down on what people have to do the more likely it will be that we have true representation of the data.
