I wouldn't, and I say this despite the fact that it would make it easier for me to keep track of them. Why? Because if users perceive this as the place they are supposed to file packaging bugs, they won't file them with their distro, and they will expect WineHQ to fix them.

Packaging bugs that are filed here are marked upstream, and the user is told to file a bug with their distro.  The problem your users encounter is that Ubuntu closes those bugs as invalid.
