[Bug 1580546] [NEW] ubuntu-bug behavior does not match documentation onhow to report a bug

[Elyse Grasso]

Public bug reported:

In particular, typing ubuntu-bug <package> in the search widget as
illustrated on the how to report a bug page opens Ubuntu Software
without any information about what to do next.

ubuntu-bug kernel (which seems to be suggested by the how to figure out
the relevant package info) just dies after providing useless messages.
