Definitely the main problem I see is that these bugs are being filed
too quickly.  Sure if the package isn't installable for "a while"
[argue here over how long is reasonable] then file a bug, but I see
bugs being filed almost the instant a package becomes uninstallable
even while I'm attempting to fix it.
