That seems like it would be an improvement, thanks.

Oh yes, so they are.

I'm finding that I'm somehow continually overlooking the things I'm
searching for in the LP UI.  This means that now to be sure I haven't
missed it I sometimes spending a minute or two staring hard at the
page I have just in case the page design is leading my eye away from
the thing I wanted.

This is particularly bad when added to the problem that many things
aren't on the page I'm looking at and can only be found after several
slow page loads.  The up to 20 seconds it takes LP to produce the next
page is added to the 40-80 seconds I've spent staring at the page to
convince myself that whatever it was isn't there already.

This is exactly what I was afraid of.  So if I click `request fix
upstream' this will make an entry in the upstream's bug tracking
system ?  Of course that it something I would never want to do via
Malone (unless by some freak chance the upstream are using Malone as
their bugtracker).

I can just imagine the reaction from Debian to a link in Malone which
files bugs in the Debian BTS !
