Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  It can be challenging to report distribution upgrade bugs about
  ubuntu-release-upgrader because it is a source package and the binary
  package is called ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.

  
  [ Test Case ]

  1) run ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader
  2) observer a dialog saying that the package does not exist

  After installing the version from -proposed you'll see an apport
  dialog with information about ubuntu-release-upgrader-core e.g.
  Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  None, as it did not work before.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  I was wondering why so many people report about ubuntu-release-upgrader without using apport for this.

  I think I know it now.

  If you give to command line:

  ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader
  upgrader"
  you will see a popup that informs you that such a package do not exist.

  The correct command would be

  ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core

  , but I think this is not known to much reporter, also because
  launchpad itself list all only as "ubuntu-release-upgrader"

  The people just not see how to name correctly for apport.

  This should be treat with,...well is a redirect possible?!
