No, my intention is a different one: Piuparts should list all adequate
issues on the per-package or per-maintainer to make the maintainers
aware of these issues. Because that's where the maintainers look for
their packages. (In addition it would get even more attention if the
PTS or the new tracker would list them on the package page.)

Otherwise it can't replace running adequate in autopkgtest tests.
