Bug #813534 (rejected): linux-image-*-lttng package descriptions refer to non-existent "linux-lttng meta-package"

The package descriptions of the various linux-image-*-lttng packages (found in ppa.launchpad.net/lttng/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/) conclude with:

"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-lttng meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."

The "linux-lttng meta-package" is non-existent; what is meant is actually the "lttng meta-package".

(I first attempted to report this through launchpad's bug manager, but this was rejected: "it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not [sic] support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package."  I hope e-mail is the correct procedure?)
