+actually, the triage team finds this alot quicker than package maintainers, 
+they often only care about their own package, and if it's not assigned to 
+their package they won't be looking for it.
+
+i do agree that users often have no clue of what specific component is 
+responsible for what, and they often get it wrong if they try.
