Unfortunately not, see for example:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642367

I can also imagine missing or superfluous packages being a problem
(remember our upgrade mechanisms are currently defined to by default
not pull in new packages from the OS base, or remove old ones we don't
want).

I'm fine with the non-hardware bugs being individual, I don't think we
need a tracker.  So I'll just retitle and comment in the current one
to make things more clear.  Thanks!
