I certainly wouldn't mind anyone doing this.

(I also doubt many people would see and act on this warning. dh-buildinfo
was practially useless the last 8 years and noone noticed or acted.)

And whats the real benefit of this? I mean, MBF is a mass bug filing,
and yeah, a package would receive one less bug report. (Which I see as a
small benefit, but not a real benefit, which would block *me* from
filing 311 bugs now^wsoon.)

I'd applaud that.
