Often when creating a daily build the point is to create packages that
upstream considers 'pure' and so the bugs are highly likely to be relevant
to them without requiring a triage step in between to identify the ones
that are.

Maybe it is a bad assumption that most will be like this. Maybe it will
be the minority case, and so we should require going to an LP project first,
with (semi-)manual forwarding. However, if the upstream uses LP then this
distinction can't be enforced.

Thanks,
