However, these updates are mandated by changes in the bugzilla directory
structure, and they can happen e.g. after a stable release.

I know we have volatile, but it looks more clever to get such changing
information from the server than from a package that would have to be
synchronized by hand.

The real issue here is that a problem on the server (or a malicious
server) can trigger a crash in bug-buddy.
