We could also (fairly easily) add a bug updating component to the new-distroseries backend script we have (if it had some appropriate metadata to run off of). >> Presently in Ubuntu series nominations are often used for marking >> "bugs with a fix worth backporting", and some package maintainers may >> dislike the proposed change since this would be harder.
