In our CI environment, for most of our projects we want trunk to be
always in sync with what is in the distro, so it should also be safe
to only use packaging bugs. If upstream wants the bug tracker to be
enabled for the upstream project, that's fine, but it also needs to
help handling the bug list that affects the package, as that's always
the main target when opening bugs that were caught when using the
image/archive.
