I don't think anyone is suggesting that we start trying to distinguish every
possible external cause of a problem. But there are bugs that do get identified
as upstream, and this would make it easier to find them. 

As for these bugs being invalid, the practice has been to keep them open to
collect duplicates and not mark them as invalid until they are going to be
closed, e.g., bug 23323 was kept open with a resolution of NEW for over four
months with (not a Wine bug) in the summary. That's inaccurate and sends a
contradictory message to users. It would be much clearer to mark these bugs
Resolved, Upstream as soon as that becomes apparent, leave them open to collect
duplicates as long as the upstream bug is open, and simply close them when the
upstream bug is closed.
