+I agree, but that doesn't mean the user is able to identify the problematic
+package, even if he has good knowledge of the way packages work.
+
+Let's say for example that there is a problem with libxy, it is compiled
+with a bad combination of optimizations that make some of its functions
+behave randomly.
+appA appB and appC use libxy, but appC only use simple functions that are
+not affected by the optimization problem, so only appA and appB behave
+badly.
+Even if the user know about packages dependencies, as appC work fine he may
+not come to the conclusion that libxy is causing the problem.
+But he may still consider the problems with appA and appB to be related
+because they started at the same time (the latest update that included
+libxy).
+So if he can fill a single bug report for both appA and appB, that is a good
+hint to the developer that he should investigate in the dependencies those
+apps have in common.
+
+So if you accept only one package per bug report, it may be harder to find
+the actual cause, as those two apps may be maintained by different people,
+each investigating the problem for his own app.
