These cases are obviously few, easy to trigger and generally a result of  
"wrong" packaging practice that's both easy to fix and should be fixed.

For the issue that revealed the bug, it's not an issue easy to find by
triggering it, and it's also a result of what would be consistent and
the expected behaviour not behaving that way, which in turn makes these
situations more plausible and easier hidden.

Analyzing metadata such as synthesis.hdlist.cz for whole distribution to fully 
investigate wouldn't hurt, and should probably be easy to do. IIRC we have some 
tools for these things in Mandriva Linux already, using the perl bindings also..
