And maybe Malone is trying to be too many things at the same time. 
What we need  is a bug reporting system for the packages in Ubuntu 
that ordinary users can easily use and function in.   What we are
getting is something quite capable of many things, well beyond
Ubuntu-land only,  but I think also quite capable of confusing the end
users.   I know what a product and a distribution is.  I'm not sure
what is a  "distribution package" and a "distribution release
package".

And you are right and I was wrong: things in that column means
multiple things. In my mind, there are only packages/product, which is
what we are used to in bugzilla.   I was looking at this bug:
https://launchpad.net/products/nautilus/+bug/9758

If I click on "Nautilus (upstream)", I get that Nautilus is a product
If I click on "Nautilus (Ubuntu)", I get that Nautilus source package

I don't see why they should be different.  They are both an
application, one coming from upstream in Gnome, one installed on my
ubuntu computer.     They are both a package/product, but one coming
from somwhere else, and one located in Ubuntu;  so the same product,
but different "versions".

no, they shouldn't.  You're right.
