For bugs which does not have any Bug ID tagged and for an enhancement
for which there is no note written about the enhancement, should i
take this approach of just installing the package, check whether the
basic application works and it does not corrupt any other stuff and
inform it works ?  or should i do something more than this and yeah
documenting it somewhere should be fine , there should be some
databasse we need that helps as a reference. This is mandatory
