 Then don't file a bug at all!  :)   What I'm unhappy about is bug
 tracker spam I receive for transitions (recent example: perl rebuild).

 I don't care that each change has a bug as long as it's documented in
 the changelog (or a changelog entry pointing to a wiki page, I really
 don't care).  I care to not abuse a single bug with dozens of tasks.
