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.
