We have been (ab-?) using Mantis categories for this. When you report a 
bug you can select a category which we have named after packages (also, 
there is a separate "Squeak external packages" project tracking, well, 
exteranl packages). To see all bugs pertaining to a specific package 
you need to filter for it.
