Should we make it easier and encourage bug reports to be send to distributions

Well because it was visible in almost all distros shows, that there is a lack 
of communication beween upsteam and distros and between the distros...

Keep in mind testing is a complete automatic transistion. In debian we as 
packagers put stuff in unstable and afterwards it migrates to testing 
automaticaly ( if no release critical bug (RC) is found). With kf5/gcc5 
transistion we saw many problems with testing. Because within unstable 
everything works (everything was compiled with gcc5 etc.) But than some 
packages had RC bugs,so they were not moving to testing. So testing ended in a 
very bad state where someparts of kf5 were moved to testing without waiting 
for the rest, because from the compilation they are independ parts. So we had 
to learn how to tangle packages together, so that we don't end up in the same 
mess.

I hope we improved there too and now pull together.
