[Bug 1595066] [NEW] Assumes end users know correct package name

[Stuart Bishop]

Public bug reported:

'ubuntu-bug snap' is reporting bugs against the snap package, which is
exactly what the docs say it should do, and not what users who do not
have the snap package installed want it to do. They probably want it to
report a bug against the snapd package, which owns /usr/bin/snap.

Some extra heuristics to target the bug correctly could be useful,
taking into account if the package is installed or if a binary with the
provided name is found in $PATH.
