Well, if the packager really futzes up the packaging, it *can*. (Conflicts,
provides/requires that it shouldn't have, etc.) Ideally, all this
stuff is caught in review.
That being said, step one is being able to reliably and automatically tell
what's a *new* package, versus an update, or even a rename/obsolete (e.g.,
pidgin). We can't really change the bodhi workflow until that's done.
