How about apt-listbugs?

That's exactly what Wayne is talking about IMHO - if you install
apt-listbugs it will be run automatically for each package that is to be
installed, but *after* all packages have been downloaded, which is a
waste of bandwith, time and money.

apt-listbugs -s all list openoffice.org

Nobody will manually verify each package that is going to be installed.

apt-listbugs list $(aptitude -F%p search '~U')
