Bug Description

Some clues are very common across all packages. You may want to search for bugs with core dumps, screenshots, filed by a certain person, whatever.

This can be solved by inheritance into a bug clue file, but that requires that file to exist and the include statement to be there. With truly global clues I could type:

bughelper -c g_core_dump gok

to find all the bugs in which gok caused a core dump, without there even being a clue file for gok. a global.info clue file would suffice.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This would need the 'clue nick' to be implemented.

I just pushed the change to ~dholbach/bughelper/bughelper.dev - it didn't need the clue nick - we'll rely on the filename package/<clue>.info instead

Somebody please review and commit to bughelper.main
