I just received about a dozen bugs like this:

I'm not objecting to getting the bug being filed or to the packaging change.

However, the person who is sending these bugs reports is
(a) in a much better position to change the packages because they
understand the problem and the solution, and (b) ought to take on this
work because that's part of whatever feature/cleanup/etc they are
proposing, instead of pushing part of that work off to everyone else.

Therefore, I think a better Bugzilla message would have been:
