Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bug-buddy

Ubuntu Edgy has been spamming bugs.gnome.org with a large volume of
useless bug reports [1].  Because Edgy does not come with debugging
symbols installed, crashes do not contain information that can help
track their true cause.  Asking the bug reporters for additional
information has resulted in no additional response.  There are a limited
number of GNOME developers, and it is both impolite and unwise asking
them to waste their limited time on these invalid bug reports.  Please
either remove bug-buddy from Ubuntu Edgy or disable the send routine for
crashes to bugs.gnome.org.  Thanks!

[1]  Example useless bug report:
