Really? This is the exact same page Paul told you to visit, and you said
you did. Here's the quote from Paul again:

"Now you get a list of all sorts of packages, releases, etc. with the name
"xsane".  This is the tricky part.  The one you want is usually named
something like "<pkg> package in Ubuntu".  Click on that."

The page in my screenshot is called "xsane" packagein Ubuntu.
Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Anyway, filing a bug through Launchpad really isn't that hard. And don't
tell me you don't have time for a "purported bug reporting site
that doesn't let you report a bug". Obviously, Launchpad will let you
report a bug, if you spend less time ranting, and more time reporting.
