I agree with you that this should be packagers responsibility they 
themselves are suppose to triage their component and act accordingly by 
either gather the required information and forward it upstream but the 
reality is quite different more often than not they are in no 
communication with upstream nor are incapable to actually debug their 
own component or provide the information to do so.
