Buglist: a new 'DEFER' keyword?

Hi,

Remember, the buglist is at:
http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/buglist.html

Also, I propose adding a new keyword 'DEFER', which could be used for 
packages for the report is basically a minor security issue, bugfix or 
the like.  Something which might (or might not) be addressed the next 
time we have other reasons to create that particular package, but it 
doesn't make sense to roll an update just to fix that and can't be 
closed outright as WONTFIX.

The reason for this is that such bugs can be sorted in a different 
category in the buglist, and it might be easier to spot more important 
work items.

This category could include bugs such as:

....

Thoughts?
