D'oh! I made a note of this practice in the past but it slipped my mind.

It's a good idea, especially for new packagers like me. I suppose under
packaging there could be a brief description of how to write a good bug

the bug. As well as a reminder to practice rubber-duck debugging before
sending the bug report ;)
