I'm not looking for a research project on how to prove that the last
bug has been found or not.  And I'm not particularly concerned about
application-level bugs. Every time a second rolls over we take a
chance of hitting a new previously unknown bug.  We're all taking that
chance.

I just want the package revisions for at least the kernel and tzdata*
files and anything else where previously-found bugs related to the
leap second have been fixed.    What I want to know (and be able to
describe concisely to a non-geek person) is that on a particular
machine either that the known/expected bugs have been fixed, or that
they haven't and we need to schedule a reboot.   And it seems like
something everyone else using a distribution would want to know as
well, at least for machines where scheduling a reboot is no-trivial.
