Well, that's the problem: sometimes it's a product, sometimes it's a 
distribution, sometimes it's a distribution package, and sometimes it's 
a distribution release package.

Once those links are combined into "Request fix elsewhere...", the 
meaning of upstream etc can be more fully explained on the resulting

In Bugzilla that's "WORKSFORME". Malone doesn't have a "Works For Me"

reason to distinguish the two?
