Seems a step in the right direction. Unless I misunderstand you, this is 
similar in concept to the way transitions are handled in Debian, with a 
general wiki page and single bugs being filed to every affected packages.
See for instance for the gfortran transition:

http://wiki.debian.org/GfortranTransition

In particular in the wiki page they have:

Reasons for the transition
How the transition is to be carried out
Examples
Status Table

I guess your tool is mostly about the status table, with packages (perhaps 
sorted by being core or secondary), a status field and a bug number linked to 
the launchpad bug?
