The "original" Ubuntu paper cut definition
Put briefly, *a paper cut is* *a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a brand new installation of Ubuntu Desktop Edition*
so the papercut is so much trivial than it is an usability bug. How can he tag with papercut if he doesn't know if it's a trivial
issue (since the definition of a paper cut is that it's a trivial issue)! :)
If the developer comes and marks it difficult, we still know that the user though that the issue needed attention and raises an usability problem.
I don't think papercut == usability issue. For usability issues we should tag them with "usability" IMO since the need is more general than just for papercuts.

IMO if we want to make this initiative an user reporting process, it's easier and more intuitive to mark the reported issues with a tag that states the paperCut concept, than to mark it with a difficulty level.
