I tried this out. You're getting a message at the top of the form
saying "An error occurred".
This error message should say "that package name isn't known in launchpad".
You need to put a source-package name into the "package" field. You can
use the "Choose..." link to choose one from a list.
Sorry about the crappy error message. Matsubara, would you get a bug
filed to improve that please?
