I've recently started an aversion to multiple issues.  The problem is that 
it's a Bug Squad role to mark them as verified and we're now over-run with 
issues just tracking patches.  As usual, I'm sure Graham won't agree with 
me, but I think Squadders should actually check that the patch works if we 
mark the issue as verified.  Lots of issues - lots of checking.  My personal 
preference would be to keep the single issue, with multiple patches.

If not this, there should be clear instructions at the top of the issue on 
how to verify.  "Is 1686 verified?  Then verify this one."
