[Bug 512339] [NEW] should recommend against using ubuntu-specific versions

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: reportbug

When reporting bug to the Debian BTS, it is a bad idea to report bugs
against a version of the package that is not in Debian. That causes
version-tracking to fail, and unhappy maintainers.

I suggest adding a message in the default template saying something along the lines of:
When reporting bug in Debian, please report them with a version of a *Debian* package affected by the bug, i.e not a -XubuntuX version.

** Affects: reportbug (Ubuntu)
