I don't purport that it is a /good/ solution, but it is an 
alternative nonetheless.  Another alternative, is to have the 
tripwire package "Require: bugzuki" (bugzuki is a commandline 
based bugzilla frontend client which uses XMLRPC).  Then you 
could have the tripwire package installation automatically detect 
if specspo contains the bad tripwire entries and have it 
automatically file a bug report via XMLRPC into bugzilla.
