I've now created a DEFER keyword in the status whiteboard and 
reclassified a number of bugs to it.  See the URL above.  I'm open to 
suggestions for other reclassification, etc.

The process flow is that when a package Foo needs to be updated, the 
packager would go look if there are any bugs in DEFER state for that 
package Foo, and then evaluate whether to include them or not (and if 
not, close the DEFER bugs).

I also updated the wiki.
