Sure, I know that you don't know that, that's why I was telling it
explicitly that if you remember, it's better to not remove the
+moreinfo in the case of aptitude -- otherwise your report might get
less noticed.  But no harm other than that.

I thought about that, but I think that starting to user usertags would
mean some extra effort, even if not much, and I feel that I spend
already too many hours in the BTS :-/
