One Bugzilla report per distro version or one for all?

The problem you run into is then you set yourself up for having to
release all or nothing.  If distro A is holding up release of fixed
packages for distro B thats not a good thing.  If we want our pushing
tools to close bugs accordingly (like they do with Core) then we're
probably going to have to separate these by distributions.

Now to use mozilla again, why couldn't we push all 4 products into one
bug report?  20 bugs down to 5 bugs is a pretty big drop.  And there
could be a tracking bug that has all the info, and sub-bugs filed in
each distro to be the place holder for when said package goes out.  This
allows a package to go out, allows a pushing system to close a bug
associated w/ a package update, and allows a top level bug to easily
track the progress of each affected distro.
